But it *is* the CVS version - as clearly indicated by the release
version, which is a tag showing the release date. I update it whenever
Changelog shows something interesting.

As noted on the MessLab website, the packages are bleeding edge and not
for the clueless users, just those who want to avoid compiles, so there.
I've asked around on #rhythmbox and nobody seems to mind unofficial RPM
snapshots. The spec file is barely touched from the one shipped with
Rhythmbox anyway, and I always update monkey-media in tandem from CVS.
