So, I just reset my OS and was reinstalling Bitcoin, deamon and -qt

Drawing source from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git as usual, it all went well but I'm rather surprised that the -qt declares the version as pre-release test, as I'd expected that bitcoin.git to be a good flavour.

In orange the is the message : "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications". This is apparently v0.8.2rc1-beta. I built the -qt through QT Creator this time having not been able to recall the method to make qmake work.. but would expect the same form to follow from qmake.

Is this then not a stable version on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git? Shouldn't that only ever be a stable version from there??

 Huh

If not https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git, then where should I get the good flavour from?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Thanks. Incidentally, I notice there is a bitcoind in Synaptic v0.3.24~dfsg-1, if the PPA not applied.
