just out of interest (I didn't really follow this thread): do you
(and/or original poster) already compile your own binaries? For Linux
and *BSD it's really trivial; the build process is easy and the build
is very clean (see
http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/tip/www/build.wiki for details).

I have almost no experience on Windows systems, although for WinXP I
used Visual Studio (IIRC) to build Fossil every now and then after a
major fix, which is also quite painless. I didn't follow the evolution
of Windows building, so perhaps now only Cygwin or Mingw are supported
- no idea here; I just didn't have a need to recompile on Windows
recently.

IMHO it's safe to use Fossil trunk tip for daily work like many people
here do. I myself have never lost a file because of Fossil (and don't
know of anyone who did). Using an official Fossil release for 'safety'
instead of trunk tip just doesn't cross my mind. In fact I don't think
there's much hype here about official releases - I'm sure many people
feel the same.

(Ignore all of the above if I misunderstood your comment :-)
