There is also thanks to N@twork, anonymous CVS access is updated daily: Only recommended for those who want to stay on the bleeding edge. Instructions for getting the latest source via cvs:

Scribus 1.2.x - Stable

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@scribus.info:/cvs
cvs login
cvs -z3 co Scribus

Scribus 1.3.x - Development

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@scribus.info:/cvs
cvs login
cvs -z3 co -r Version13x Scribus

Either choice will then download the sources to you into your current working directory. Then:

cd Scribus
make -f Makefile.cvs

From here, continue with the Compiling and Installing instructions.
