Similar to the other comments, another voice here for appreciating the "pre-built" version being available for quick use. For repo's/sources like this I tend to think of the prebuilt formats as letting me play around with things without any hassle. Once I'm happy with it I'll invest the time to have it build locally for the control.
Now you can do copy and paste. I guess usability wise similar to offer precompiled packages of open source software (you can also build from source yourself, this is just a lot easier).
