Snapshots

Daily test tarballs (http://www.go-mono.com/daily/) of the SVN repository are made almost daily. These are not guaranteed to build, but have undergone a minimum sanity check in that the snapshot of the SVN repository from which they were generated was buildable on the test machine. The time when they become available is not predictable, and there are sometimes gaps of several days.

The AnonSVN (http://mono-project.com/AnonSVN) mirrors updated every 30 minutes.

Snapshot RPMs (http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/snapshot/download-trunk/) built from trunk get updated every hour. These contain most of the packages we ship but very well may be broken.

Daniel Nauck (mailto:dna@mono-project.de) maintains a Ubuntu VMware image with the latest Mono from svn head. You can find it at mono-project.de (http://www.mono-project.de/mono-image/).
