You can use the unstable ppa:
ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
or if you need blueray support:
ppa:mario-sitz/ppa
"Live" is just a bunch of scripts. The actual binary files will be in that deb.
Guess the real question is.. how do I update it and not lose the auto start?

and the real answer is: you cannot update to "unstable" = "nightly" and be sure it still works. (Hence the name unstable)
Assuming the unstable is pretty stable at a given moment:
1) Change to unstable or 3rd party ppa
2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get install xbmc
If you decide you want to keep it safe you do only 3) and you will get the latest stable.

The last XBMC Windows nightlies pre-11 seem very stable (my tests on 3 PC)
-> Do you think that the last Linux pre-11 nightlies have the same stability ?
(I plan to update my official 10.1 CD live version, on my
ZBOX)
Thanks for all
I compile my xbmc from main git, and its pretty stable, Im using Lucid XBMClive style install. Thers no live cd for XBOX.

More to prove the point on why I posted that, I followed your directions and like always i get REVOXBMC login: prompt.. instead of it autobooting xbmc like live...
Now does anyone know how to really answer my question to update it and not loose all the live scripts?
The XbmcLive side of things is really just a set of scripts to autostart XBMC. Once you've moved to the unstable builds, you'll need to create/edit the /etc/init/xbmc.conf and tell it to autostart:
this post explains it pretty succinctly
Once you created that file if you do a reboot, it should autostart XBMC for you.

thats the best advice right there
@ jean-Max
you have two choices from HTPC setup with XBMCLive, either the
official Dharma XBMCLive iso then eithe update to unstable ppa's or compile to latest XBMC, or try openelec distros.

Not really, you should NOT. Problem with unstable PPA's is the nature of flux the packaging is in, for that reason I keep all the other packages in and compile over the install, it works very well, but no golden goose lays unbreakable gold eggs.
