Why oh why do we need yet another depository program? I can handle svn. I can even handle cmake, though it is a pain. But why not make the nightly update of Inkscape 48 available as a plain old tar ball?
bzr makes life easier for developers relative to svn, but I agree a nightly .zip of a package is nice for people who are not developers, or at least not developers in this context, but who know enough to get things compiled.
I have some not very smart but works ok bash/python scripts for maintaining a small set of nightly snapshots from a bzr repo. They make this page: http://www.greygreen.org/leo/ and use a bzr shared repo so the server isn't pulling the full repo every night, just the changes.
I don't think I have the bandwidth for an inkscape snapshot, but if anyone wants the scripts they're welcome. Or perhaps it's sufficient to use the bzr export command, if anyone has a server, that is.
