The user shouldn't see which method was used - he shouldn't even see
the package compiling (just an explanation because the installation
takes so much time).
E.g. you could have a "Advanced..." button in your installer where you
can checkmark "Download latest available alpha version", and the
installer chooses CVS then, or whatever - just what the install script
tells him.
It doesn't have to be CVS of course - that's just an example. What I
wanted to point out was the independence of the add-on.
Adios...
Axel.
