I just downloaded and built grass-5.3.0, and even thought it came from CVS snaps, but upon further looking, this link seems dead.
http://grass.itc.it/grass5/source/snapshot_experimental/
The source I got does not seem to be the CVS HEAD version. I got it from here:http://grass.itc.it/grass5/source/grass-5.3.0.tar.gz
Did I grab the wrong source? Can someone point me to the correct source?

Where is the link from (so we can fix it)?: try

The website structure has been re-organised a bit this week.

It is not supposed to be---it is the 5.3.0 release version.

The official release has the CVS subdirectories all removed. The stable release also has further directories removed but grass-5.3.0.tar.gz actually includes every file in CVS.

Please don't do this. The space used is probably trivial, and leaving
them in allows someone to grab a tar file initially (which tends to be
much faster than "cvs checkout"), and then use "cvs update" thereafter
(rather than having to grab a new 19Mb tar file every time).
If the included CVS/Root files are for a SSH login rather than
anonymous pserver, it's trivial to just overwrite them, but you need
the CVS/Entries files.
