BTW, why do you want to run -current?
There are only 2 real reasons to do that
1: You HAVE to (for various reasons)
2: You want to help with development and test things. This is a great reason, but
you better be prepared for a lot of work. Know what you are doing and file bug reports.
Else you won't be a whole lot of actual help.

If these don't apply then you might be better off just running Release.
Not trying to be an A hole here. Just giving you heads up of what is expected of
you if you run -current.
Good luck
