A *slightly* expanded version of which is "there are some people who
regularly pull SVN trunk and build and package it." This idea is -- as
you can infer from Brad's posting, not widely thought well of: SVN
implies "if it breaks you get to keep both pieces" and packaged
installation implies "this is reasonably stable, supported code";
they're pretty much opposites.
So just understand that if you *do* have problems, you might be in deep
water. I wrote this up on the wiki; I think it's still called "Alpha
Test".
