If you're talking about the scripts used for building the binary
snapshots, they're in CVS:

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvs/dri co snapshots

You'll have to tweak config.sh for a remote repository and maybe change
the set of drivers that are built.

I do it this way:

        mkdir /usr/X11R6-XORG
        cd /usr/X11R6-XORG
        mkdir include lib bin
        cd include
        lndir ../../X11R6/include .
        cd ../lib
        lndir ../../X11R6/lib .
       =20
Then go to your Xorg source dir. Change ProjectRoot in
config/cf/host.def to /usr/X11R6-XORG. Rebuild everything with "make
World". Now "make install" will install everything in /usr/X11R6-XORG.
Edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/X11R6-XORG/lib at the beginning. Run
"ldconfig".

Otherwise follow the building instructions in the Wiki, except that you
replace /usr/X11R6 with /usr/X11R6-XORG in the appropriate places.

This is based on the method described by Leif Delgass' on
http://www.retinalburn.net/linux/dri_HOWTO.html.

If you decide to install stuff in /usr/X11R6-XORG just
change /etc/ld.so.conf and make the symbolic link /etc/X11/X point back
to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. If you installed a binary snapshot use the
restore option of the install script. Note that this doesn't work if you
installed two or more snapshots on top of each other without restoring
the original.
