ABI could change, but if somebody downloads a -dev version he should know about this, either it could not work as expected or don't work at all. > Also, once someone has installed > the daily they will get new updates every time they try to refresh packages. If it's a daily-build, of course every day it should have updates :) And if someone installs it and then refreshes packages he probably wants to update dev packages as well. > I'm unwilling to do it for GDAL. I'm afraid because I think it may be a good thing, but anyway I want to point out that the OSGeo4W setup has a gdal-dev package and it points to a version of gdal already released (v1.8). If you're unwilling to set a gdal daily package up, then it would be proper to rename it (I've filed ticket #244).
