Personally, I decided that
graphicall.org would not be the best place to
"pre-publish" test builds of a stable release - such test builds do not
fall into the 'Experimental' category AFAIU [1], and are not intended
for more wide-spread usage (at least mine are not yet: I could not
provide support to users expecting to download a stable release package,
and ATM am more interested in feedback by those somewhat familiar with
building & packaging Inkscape on OS X). For now, I won't upload a build
of the latest stable release to
graphicall.org as long as the project
itself does not yet offer official packages. [2]
Possibly a 'testing' directory on
sf.net could (or will (?)) be used for
such packages, which would allow users to clearly distinguish packages
pre-released for testing only from the official stable release packages.

[2] Later on, I do plan to use the service offered by
graphicall.org to
share personal builds of trunk for Mac OS X from time to time (maybe
even an 'Experimental' build or two with the Quartz backend of GTK+) - I
already have upload permissions there (thanks to prokoudine :) ).
