We are already at 2.3.1. The question is why a development version?
The only packages above with odd minors are:
ModemManager-0.7.991.tar.xz
folks-0.9.5.tar.xz
gnome-js-common-0.1.2.tar.bz2
gnome-system-log-3.9.90.tar.xz
gtk-doc-1.19.tar.xz
libnotify-0.7.6.tar.xz
libpeas-1.9.0.tar.xz
libsigc++-2.3.1.tar.xz
mm-common-0.9.6.tar.xz
rest-0.7.90.tar.xz
The problem is that they are just not consistent, so figuring out what
is stable and what is development is difficult.
