There are several patch-versions of axiom--main which are not
completely build-ready. The axiom--main branch is semi-stable.
I use it to build pre-savannah versions and there are a lot of
changes that go into it near the end of the month. In order to
guarantee that I've got a good build on axiom-main I repeat the
cycle:

do
 fix something
 build it
 tla commit to axiom-developer
 rm -rf axiom--main--1*
 tla get axiom--main--1
 build it
 test it
until done
if (end-of-month) and (stable)
 then promote to savannah CVS

This ensures that I'm not depending on local features but means
that axiom--main--1 might be unstable in various ways. 

By the way, please copy address@hidden as there are
other people on this list who know more than I do and can help.
