Hardly. it's fso-testing or fso-unstable and the phone had a daily image.

How do you get a "more up to date"? Makes no sense.
However it seems it's picking up svn elementary and other E libs. What is
the environment I should use?

Makes no sense as:
  1. it's not supposed to carry all the subversion files but some more or
     less stable releases
  2. why would I send a recipe for software that is so much in development
     I may need to add libraries at will?

How can that make sense with an application that's still being developed and
not yet stable enough for a release?
