| Yes, that's why we choose the release tarball. Most of the software I have

in GUS the trunk is not the bleeding edge. The bleeding edge
lives in the branches (for example the '3.6-Dev' branch of
the GusSchema).

I also had the same idea about software coming from version
control repositories ... mostly based on the projects I knew
at the time: a moving (unstable) trunk with one or more
'stable' branches. But, it seems like in GUS the development
model is different: a stable trunk with one or more
'unstable' development branches. After knowing this, I've
now come across many other projects using this model, so
it's not only GUS that's using it.

So I'd say that you're safe using the trunk ... at least
until 3.6 comes out (because then the 3.6 branch will be
merged to trunk, correct?. At least this is how I now understand it.
Others please correct me if I'm wrong). But in any case you
can always checkout a snapshot from any point back in time
...

| I'll take a look, but probably I'd better start again from scratch; at least
