No you are absolutely right.  We've been in the middle of a solution
for some time now -- we just keep getting distracted.  I know that's
not much of an excuse so apologies.  Hopefully we'll be in a much
better position to distribute appropriate "complete distros" and
easily accessible milestone upgrades soon.  The end game will be a web
service that allows you to auto update your builds and plugins through
the webtop itself -- with 5.x+ you can run independent FarCry versions
for each site in shared hosts.

http://www.farcrycore.org/builds
will be the official location of all static (ie. not subversion)
distributions.  We've worked out a nice hosting solution through
Amazon S3 and we're currently automating the nightly build of various
code bases (eventually all).

Currently all code bases are available through subversion as well.

If you are after a specific piece of code, your best bet is actually
Fisheye:
http://fisheye.farcrycms.org/

For example you could search for ruleHandPicked and get any version of
the component here:
http://fisheye.farcrycms.org/browse/plugins/farcrycms/trunk/packages/rules/ruleHandpicked.cfc

Well one very clever aspect of FarCry is the ability to override
behaviour -- you could for example create a ruleHandPicked.cfc of your
own in the project and override the standard publishing rule from the
plugin.

With a correctly configured shared host, running *only* version 5.x on
their servers, it should be possible for every site to have its own
farcry core library running under the webroot.  That way you could
update your core code base whenever.

All the best,
