Sure but it's sources of a future release, so I will make them available for anyone to test. Just as I would with alpha, beta, etc. If upstream has no use for this. Then surely I won't mind not doing bumps, etc for dev/qa snapshots or etc. Less work ++ > (If you ship snaps on Gentoo, be our guest.) We don't really have a suffix for that. Some of the other stuff residing on p.a.o, I have recently suffixed with _pre. A _dev would be nice, other stuff get's _alpha, _beta, respectively. This one slipped by me, should have done _pre I guess. Not sure if we have anything in particular for snapshots. We can even do cvs/svn ones if we really want/need to follow development that closely. What ever upstream prefers, and of course downstream packager me. :) Now these do not go into stable, they go into ~arch which is experimental or testing. If really bad, they could go into overlay. But I prefer main tree/repository. For ease of use, and greatest exposure. These types of bumps are minor, and I like to test myself in my own envs. So can't hurt to make it available for others to test etc. But if I can ignore them, or etc, just confirm that, and I will do so from now on.
