OK, apparently, HaikuDepot points to snapshot URLs by default. E.g. with a
just downloaded nightly build, the Haiku repository points to
{{{.../r1~alpha4_pm_href48408}}}, and HaikuDepot pointed to (presumingly)
some git commit id, until I changed it to 'current' manually.
Also, I didn't even notice until now that haiku-files.org contains old
snapshots. Why doesn't that website simply redirect to the new one instead
of showing an unobtrusive message in green background, which many
returning visitors will likely not even notice?
Then the last question: I've installed guest additions, shut Haiku down,
changed mouse setting back to PS/2 mouse, and booted Haiku again, and it
acts just like it acted when no guest additions were installed: mouse
integration doesn't work, and I can't find any relevant shortcut in the
feather menu. Am I missing something?
