After some experimenting, I have now opened access to a repository for .deb files, making automated installation of nightly builds much more convenient.
As you probably know, many linux distributions (for example Ubuntu) are derived from a common ancestor, namely Debian. All these distributions share a common format for packaging and distributing software, the .deb packages.
With a .deb package, dependencies can be automatically resolved, and new versions can be detected and installed, usually with a single mouse click.
Anyhow, the nightly .deb files are available on the nightly builds site, so if you're interested, just go there and follow the instructions.
Questions about the above, as well as bug reports, should be posted on the makehuman forums.
Many thanks. I have Ubuntu 9.04 running on a dozen machines in a render farm, and I needed a stable working version of Makehuman to connect to Blender. Debs certainly do make things easier.
