As soon as there is a .tgz available, (assuming it isn't already on the 
FTP site) I will be happy to do it.

I'm excited and happy to hear that the code has branched, but until there 
is a snapshot released, it would be better for people to build out of the 
CVS tree.

I suppose we could provide nightly RPM builds out of CVS, but I personally 
would rather see the general public beating on Snapshots dropped at known 
time periods so that specific releases can be tagged w/ specific bugs. If 
we have 100 days worth of CVS snapshot RPMS out there, imagine the 
confusion that can occur:

"I have CVS version 2004-2-1.rpm and it has this bug."

"Yeah, that was fixed in CVS on 2004-3-2, so upgrade."

"But I can't upgrade because the CVS 2004-3-4 that is available now breaks 
the Xyz feature"

I personally believe it's cleaner to maintain a snapshot release for 
general public consumption and allow people to maintain Changelogs between 
versions. That way the end user can get a clear history of what 
works/doesn't work based on release numbers.
