OK, I read the new page, and I have installed everything that was
listed there (I think). Subversion and most others were already
installed and the latest version. I did install GraphicsMagick*,
python-imaging-devel, cups-devel and cairo-devel.

I definitely want the WANT_VERSIONING option because I have 1.3.9
installed and don't want to mess it up.

Unfortunately, the link to the http: page for the source does not work,
and Firefox pukes up the svn: link "the protocol svn is not associated
with any program ..." Silly Firefox. So I still don't know what the
source files are or where to get them.

I also found this page:

http://scribus.net/websvn/listing.php?repname=Scribus&path=%2Fbranches%2FScribus%2FScribus%2F&peg=16670#a710369cc25fc7ab96d90313c4ca65f8a

But I couldn't figure out what the directory structure was referring
to.
