Building X11R7.4 from source

[Paul Novak]

I would like to build X11R7.4 from source.
The first question is how to get the source.

I first went to www.x.org and clicked on the "X11R7.4" link.  I got a list of
new/updated modules.  For example, app/bitmap_1.0.3 is a new/updated module.

I went back to www.x.org, and under "Getting X", I clicked on "mirrors".
Under "Primary sites", I clicked on the ftp link for x.org. then X11R7.4,
then src, then app.  I see a lot of tarballs, including
appres_1.0.1.tar.bz2 and bitmap_1.0.3.tar.bz2.  I clicked on
appres_1.0.1.tar.bz2 and it downloaded fine.
I clicked on on "bitmap_1.0.3.tar.bz2" and found the file does the
file does not exist.

In fact,I believe  all of the files listed as new/updated modules in X11R7.4 do
not exist in the ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.4/src/ directory structure.

I next tried going back to www.x.org, and under "Getting X", I clicked
on "mirrors".
Under "Primary sites", I clicked on the http link for x.org, then X11R7.4,
then src, then app.  In this directory, bitmap_1.0.3.tar.bz2 does not
exist at all.

Question:

Shouldn't all the source for X11R7.4 be in the ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.4/src
and http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.4/src directories?  It appears to me that all
of the new/updated modules are missing.  How is one supposed to get
all the source
required to build?
