22 mr is available in git at `git://git.kitenet.net/mr`, or
23 [in gitweb](http://git.kitenet.net/?p=mr.git). It's in all recent versions
24 of Debian. If you want a tarball, the best place to get one is from
25 <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/mr>. Unofficial RPMs are
26 provided by [Douglas E. Warner](http://www.silfreed.net/download/repo/packages/mr/).
