It is currently in a transitional period. :-)

These lists you found are the right ones.  The samba stuff is old.

0.9.5.1 is something I released independently of the librsync
project.  It is not an official version.

Don't use 0.9.5, there are too many problems with it.  I have a
version of 0.9.5 on the rdiff-backup site?  Tell me where it is and I
will remove it.

The sourceforge cvs should be current.  Did you get a shared library
out of it?  If not you will probably have a harder time getting it to
work with rdiff-backup.
