Is there someplace I can get nightly/weekly 6.8 maintenance snapshots?

I'm beginning a new site on 6.8, and I need to fix some basic problems. Searching my issues on drupal.org seems to be a struggle, and piecing together many forums posts often leads to no conclusive fixes. If I try mirroring a second instance of my site so I can occasionally sync 6.8 CVS (devel) into my site then perhaps some problems will go away. (for example, "warning: Missing argument 1 for trigger_access_check() in .../modules/trigger/trigger.module on line 129. -- There's a patch for workflow, but rather than fix piecemeal I'd like to just keep updating from CVS 6.8 maintenance.)

However I'm struggling to find a location for 6.8 maintenance snapshots. (my company's firewall makes it a pain to cvs --I have to tunnel -- so snapshots would be greatly preferred.)

Also, I'm following advice found in a post to get 6.8 -- is this the correct location for the branch I'm running?

cvs -d ":pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal" checkout -r DRUPAL-6-8 drupal

Thanks.

A) DRUPAL-6-8 is not a "branch". It's a "tag", meaning it never changes. If you want fixes that happened since 6.8 that will eventually be in 6.9, you need to use the DRUPAL-6 branch of core.

B) If you can't use CVS for some reason, the end of the DRUPAL-6 branch is packaged every 12 hours in a development snapshot: 6.x-dev.
