I have made a bcc of this message to bug-gnu-utils. I think the newest sources should be available at gnu.org and its mirrors.
I am having trouble with patch. My Cygwin patch (and my GnuWin32 patch) says it is version 2.5.9. But where is the sources for this? I looked at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch and they only have version 2.5.4. How can that be?
Cygwin patch is 2.5.8. The version is taken from some Linux distro, I don't remember which one. The sources are where the binaries are, use setup.exe to pull them on your machine. As for the upstream sources, I have no idea. The bug report list is bug-gnu-utils AT gnu DOT org.
Also from what i can tell: Nothing from ftp://alpha.gnu.org is or has ever been offical. It houses development snapshots.
