The thing is, is that most users don't know how to use DosBox properly. So they use the DosBox compatibility page to judge wether a game works in DosBox or not. (Without trying the game in DosBox first). They also assume that since the compatibility list only lists the game as playable in 0.58 that it doesn't work in 0.63 so they use the older version of DosBox instead. (Yup, DosBox users are really that ignorant).
If a CVS version of DosBox were to be released monthly this would make the comatibility page useless since this page is updated mostly by the people it serves and a monthly compatibility page would be pretty useless.....and I highly doubt that people submitting reports would report the official DosBox version using instead the CVS version for their report which would skew the compatibility reports.
Frankly, once 0.65 is released I wouldn't mind seeing Official DosBox releases taking as long as a year to release, roughly the same as 0.63 to 0.65. (roughly a year + a couple of months).
Since 0.65 is VASTLY more compatible than 0.63 I really don't see a monthly CVS offering much to the average DosBox user, any user above average can easily aquire a compiled CVS build.
A monthly CVS build is more usefull for a project like ScummVM since the list of games useable by ScummVM is very few compared to DosBox.
Also remember that the Beta Testers of this forum are the ones that provide much of the input for DosBox problems. We have most of the dos games anyway. Monthly CVS builds would just serve to bring alot of stupid posts that have already been answered a million times before.
I guess a monthly CVS build could work.....as long as it's hidden away from the DosBox site, given tons of warning messages, and not provided any support whatsoever by the forums/emails/etc unless the user really has something to contribute. (IE...not posting one post on the VOGONS forum and then disappearing forever). That's really what it's all about. Not giving away CVS builds for people who just want the latest CVS but giving CVS builds to people who are actually going to contribute to the project.
