It can't hurt, so if it is not too much effort, go ahead. Unfortunately, the nightly tarballs aren't reliably produced, either - they weren't present for the last week. So a procedure that downloads the nightly tarball and unpacks it would have failed most recently (my own procedure managed to overwrite the older tarballs in the process). However, such a procedure shares some of the problems of anon CVS on SF: it is always behind the life CVS. In addition, providing another place for anon CVS doesn't solve the problems that some committers have with SF. Regards, Martin
