If you build from source tarballs, the step to building from a checkout
of the development repository is actually minor.  Developer releases
occur in a 2-week pattern usually, without any particular relation to
code quality (apart from the development process needing to compile for
a number of different platforms and older compiler versions, so it can
be delayed by requiring some urgent fixes).

It depends on how much you are tracking current changes and developments
whether closing this 2-week gap is important to you.  If you find that a
number of bug fixes or developments occur in response or cooperation
with your reports of current problems, cutting short that 2-week
feedback cycle might come handy.  And a checked out repository makes it
quite easier to contribute patches if you find you can improve on
LilyPond or its documentation.

What you're seeing is the latest _released_ source tarball. They are referring 
to the latest state of the development Git repository at savannah.org

I build LilyPond from source, and the current version in current master is 
2.17.30.


uuuh... so did /I/, from 2.17.29.  But the above link to source tar 
balls is the most recent source I see.  There's no 2.17.30 there.


When I go to the development and unstable source page, I still only see 
2.17.29 as the latest:

http://lilypond.org/development.html

When I google — [ lilypond "2.17.30" ]  — I get links external to 
lilypond.org, and just documentations and forums.
