While the Icinga 2 releases happen on a 3 weeks schedule for our
development sprints, this is not true for holiday season. That's
mainly the reason why there isn't 0.0.7 already. But as a matter of
fact you should use the snapshot package repository, even that may
sound odd.

Our development model is git flow, and features are developed in
feature branches until they're considered stable. Fixes also last a
while in fix branches, and are only merged without --no-ff *if*
they are quickfixes. In general that means that 'git next' as a
base for snapshot package builds on every push is more fixed stable
than the master only representing the last tech preview release.
I'm all for opening bug reports, however, I always try to hit the
lists to see if I've done something wrong before I go throwing bug
reports in.  I'm much more likely to have screwed something up rather
than finding a bug.

That's fine and also one of those reasons I regularly check my mails for this list. Though, I tend to bulk-answer every week or so, unless i consider it a critical issue - Icinga is very time consuming for all the parts i like to do in and with it.

Therefore, other colleagues may step into, and if you feel yourself and the bug unheard, creating an issue on dev.icinga.org will notify all involved developers, even those not checking their mailinglist archive ;) (that's _not_ the call to create issues for every small problem!)


As far as using the snapshot builds, I game.  But what's the
preferred/best method of doing so?  Simply adding the snapshot repo
package?  (And disabling the stable repo.)

Yep. They do not depend on each other (that means, boost is shipped in both repos for SLES11). The only notable difference in regards of the package name is the additional 'snapshot-<timestamp>' suffix but that will only help to identify the version installed in case of a found bug. The easiest way is running

icinga2 --version

though. The Icinga 2 buildsystem will add the git revision to the version tag already.

Kind regards,
Michael
