Hi Mario,

Although I have currently enabled processor optimisations that is not the
underlying reason I like to use trunk. Essentially I want the features
available in trunk and like to be able to help test. eg. With the upcoming
record multiple muxes from a single transport stream, I would like to be
able to help test the functionality of this code and offer any feedback I
can.

What I was originally thinking was of a meta package to help those that want
to compile from source to get their environment setup as quickly/easily as
possible. The actual "configure, qmake, make, make install" really isn't
that time consuming.

It would be interesting to hear from some of the devs their thoughts, do
they think that nightly SVN builds (and deb packaging) would help or hinder
their development process.

Cheers,

Roo.
