	Oh, you misunderstand me.  The need for RPM's and DEB's and the rest is 
only for the final release version.  Beta versions only need be released 
in source and the gui installer while SVN put out as source only is just 
fine.  If SVN were also released every week or two that would be beyond 
great.

	Packaging technologies aren't distro specific, really.  RPM and DEB are 
the Linux Standard Base packages.
