Not based on any release or nightlies. They download the code from a version control repository (Git, Svn, etc.) in whatever state it currently is and build from that. The version before the 9999 usually specifies the branch. For example, 5.0.9999 would mean the latest state of the 5.0 branch (or whatever branch name would apply to that version, like "stable".)
