I have checked the stuff from soulmachine and most of them were built 
07-18-2005.  Unfortunately there are numerous fixes/changes last week 
alone. 

I think getting it from the CVS is still the best way.  There is a 
script here:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=205028&postcount=81

that downloads the sources and tries to build and install them for you.  
of course not all would compile successfully using this script (like in 
my case e_modules and eclair - never) but you can manually compile those 
that didnt  or get those from nooms/soulmachine - tough I am not sure if 
that would be a good idea. so when i run the script i always use -c 
switch and list down those that did not compile and do it myself.  well 
at least its lesser work.  sorry i am not a C or C++ programmer so I 
dont know how to batch compile :(

just an opinion.
