As others have pointed out, this is a snapshot of the /usr/src directory 
and will also work. However if you already have the source-code 
installed (though not the most recent version) it will often be faster 
with cvsup since it only fetches those files that have been changed.

chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de does provide the cvsup service so you can use:

#cvsup -h chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-preview-supfile

to download the sources for the latest preview-release (notice that I 
changed the name of the sup-file from DragonFly-src-supfile to 
DragonFly-preview-supfile, the former will give you HEAD instead of 
preview).
