I agree -- the reason for my initial comment was that I assumed Linux
Libre sources were available on ftp.gnu.org.

There are tarballs for later 3.3.x releases:

http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/3.3.8-gnu/

And also most recent releases:

http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/3.6.2-gnu/

Alexandre, any particular reason older releases (like 3.3.5) aren't
available?  Also, would it be possible to have them on ftp.gnu.org as
well?
