At the moment, 0.8.14 is stable!
0.9.0 is in a "preview state" - no new features, making thinks stable

The stable release will be available in rpm's and other packages. But
bugfixes are not aplied to the packages - so if you want to stay
up-to-date you have to checkout from cvs and compile yourself. Also if
you need non-default features (e.g. radius), you have to recompile ser.
If you use debian, you can use the dpkg-buildpackage after adopting the
config files in the debian directory.
If available, I'd like to use rpm packages since
ser source distribution
does not seem to support the 'make uninstall' target.
Don't know - never made an rpm myself.
