I think it would be useful if there were two fixed links http://www.sagemath.org/dist/src/very-latest-release.tar http://www.sagemath.org/dist/src/very-latest-release.md5
so one had a *permanent* link to the latest version, no matter if its an alpha, beta, release or whatever. It would then be relatively easy to check for a new release and if one exits to download it and compile without human intervention. (i.e test in a cron job). A developer with a slightly obscure system could then make the results of the build available to all on a web page by putting the last 500 or so lines in a web page. I'll soon be out of England on business and will have little time to work on Sage. But if there was a way to download the latest version from a fixed URL, then I could put the results in a web page as soon as the compile has finished. As long as the md5 checksum was in a small file, it would not be necessary to download 200 MB file only to find its the same as the version one already has.
