When looking for the newest version of a GNU package, looking on alpha.gnu.org was the preferred way ca. 10 or 5 years ago. Nowadays most GNU projects have a publicly accessible CVS (most at savannah.gnu.org, some at sourceforge.net or other sites); this is where you should look for newest sources. If you don't find nothing there, take a look at the Debian packages; Debian also maintains some packages that have no official maintainer. But I agree with you: the relation between GNU patch and GNU diffutils is not clear when you look at websites looking for 'patch' but don't know about the diffutils. Bruno
