The easiest thing is that you roll your own ganglia-3.1.3rc1.tar.gz  
package and put it in
/home/src. This will be tried first on downloading. You can also  
subscribe to SVN which
is described in (4) at
   <http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/wiki/GAR%20FAQ>
but "gmake garchive" will not upload the revision, so you may not  
always get what you expect.
That's way I recommend rolling up your dist. Couldn't you just
   gmake tardist
or something from the checked out thing? Then just copy over to /home/ 
src.


Best regards
