Hello Fabrice,

and thanks for your help.

1. I agree, the watch file should not track "u"nstable releases. I'll
put it very high in my to-do list. :)

2. No, 0.133 and 0.134 are so called "stable" (major) releases. Mame
developers agreed to a tight development cycle, with each release
planned in about 6 weeks, during which a weekly "u" (unstable) update is
released. Unstable releases may include major code refactoring or simply
support for new games, but they are not guarantee to work for all users
(as an example, I can remember a couple of builds which broke sound on
my box). No major releases are done until regression tests are passed or
nearly so, so I consider them reliable enough for the repository.

So we have to stick with 0.132 for Karmic, as 0.133 has not been
uploaded before FF and is still in the queue.

On user demand, I run a site with unofficial packages for each
intermediate build at http://sdlmame.wallyweek.org, in a very similar
way WineHQ works.

Hope this helps,
Cesare.
