I can't speak for other package maintainers, but as the maintainer of MPlayer packages for Fedora at RPMFusion I use SVN snapshots as the base for the packages. I've been following MPlayer development closely ever since I started packaging it, so I know that current SVN is usually stable enough to be pushed out to users. I haven't actually looked at Uoti's fork yet mainly due to lack of time. Regards, R. -- MPlayer http://mplayerhq.hu | RPMFusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent.
