hello GRASS users,
have a look at http://www.kde-apps.org - the number of scientific apps
increased -- GRASS 6.0.0.beta1 is now included in the kde-apps database.

Hello!
Why was the CVS snapshot 5.3/5.4 taken off? Will a CVS snapshot of Grass 5.4 source code be available back? I can't access the CVS repository directly as I download Grass on different computers in different places but never at home, because at home I'm using this ancient device called modem.
Since the 5.4 release in November there were some bugs fixed in modules which I use.

There never were any snapshots of 5.4 available. Most of the bug fixes were actually applied to the 5.3/5.5-CVS HEAD. This also contains some
extra last-minute / 'unstable' changes that are not in 5.4.0 so a
copy of it might not be what you want. It is not hard to get a copy of it using CVS if that's what you really want:
CVSROOT=:pserver:grass-guest@intevation.de:/home/grass/grassrepository
export CVSROOT
cvs login (password grass)
cvs -z3 co grass
In time the bug fixes will be extracted from the CVS HEAD and merged into the 5.4 release branch, and then 5.4.1 will be released. I will do this when I have some time 
You can check out the 5.4 branch as
cvs -z3 co -r releasebranch_5_4 grass
but as most of the bugfixes have not been applied yet it will be virtually identical to the 5.4.0 release. If other developers have time they should feel free to put bugfixes onto this branch as well as the HEAD

Looking forward to 5.4.1 then :). Anyway, will there be a CVS source code
snapshot of the 5.3/5.5 developement version like it was for 5.3?

Just curious: Why not changing to 6.0?
Development continues there...

Really? Why should they?
IMHO it's better to report what's missing in the new GRASS
than continuing older (and probably buggy) software.
Of course a personal choice.
Why not having both up to date if possible?
- e.g. to enforce that people use recent GRASS. In general they
are free to use whatever they want, but then they will start asking
for bugfixes for old versions (which won't happen usually).
- then, additionally, to keep the Web site below 700MB to fit onto
a single CDROM (we are at 740MB currently).

PS: To make you happy, I have stored the recent 5.5-CVS snapshot here:
http://mpa.itc.it/markus/tmp/grass-5.5-cvs_src.tar.gz
Note that it is probably equal or even faster to update from CVS
directly using the -z3 flag. I was working with a 56k modem
the last 5 years...

because in 6.0 we cannot yet do some of the things that we could do in
5.3
and that are needed in our projects. I have to use both 5.3 and 6.0 too.
IMHO it's better to report what's missing in the new GRASS
than continuing older (and probably buggy) software.
But I aggree with you that we should keep our focus on 6.0 and get
everything
working there - at least I am trying to do that for our modules but
there are stil
open problems with sites.
