If my distribution would support GIT/SVN/HG/CSV ebuilds then I would indeed. This is the only way to participate in the open source community and to contribute back, even if you are not a coder. But I guess, except for GCC, I am on par with the latest released versions. > Some people will need the latest and greatest features. Most > won't.

Ok maybe it is on Debian, because for everything you want to link to you have to figure out what the name is of the -devel package... > Why?

Because before 1.2.100 the source code has never been checked by any static code analysis system. And Debian didn't care about that :) Because Debian usually only cares about their opinion about what is called stable and what is called 'free software'. I am really getting tired of this discussion. Especially it makes Cherokee look bad, while every release bugs have been fixed and stability has improved considerably.
