Any chance that the Haiku developers would consider making bleeding edge releases available for testing? Currently,the binaries included with the various nightly images are out of sync with each other. i.e. hrev 46523 gg2hybrid is using cdrecord 3.01a18, whereas the x86_64 build is still at 3.01a07, ffmpeg for both is 0.10.2. Current ffmpeg releases are now at version 2.1.
I can understand the need for caution and providing a relatively stable nightly for the gcc2 hybrid, which is what most people are testing, as Haiku inches towards the next official release. But, maybe the unsupported versions could be used to push the edge a little further.
