You're right, that apache doesn't require manual compilation (except when it crashes...). But cherokee dev process is way different, also man power is different. Keeping up to date distro packages IS hard work. That's one of the problems.
You should not be worried about manual compilation :) it's easy and when you will use --prefix=/opt/cherokee your setup will be separated from main distro things.
I strongly recommend this to you. That's obvoiusly caused by current cherokee state, where releasing versions would be not that smart, isn't it Stefan ?

Subject: Re: [Cherokee] cherokee-admin suddenly not working
I suppose I could do this, but it concerns me that cherokee would not keep
its ubuntu packages up to date. All mainstream apps/utilities should do
this IMO. Pretty sure apache never requires manual compilation, ya know?
Having said that, I definitely appreciate the work that's been done on
Cherokee--I prefer it to the alternatives, but please, somebody get the
packages up to date! (Although like I said, my version number is the same
that is on the Cherokee home page.)
