In subversion can you specify what revision you want to check out so it is equally easy to know what version you want to test. I can agree that a nightly tarball is a bit more spoon feeding for none developer people. And to create a nightly tarball is a script and a cron jobb so the resources to maintain it should be low. And for the poll, I would unlikely use the tarball. /Mats _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
