The "formal" track is to grab the snapshot every 4 days. Due to the limited time people have to do testing, we figured this would provide at least some time to perform testing, and that we didn't burn the time people had to test with downloading and installing "today's" image. It also buys time for developers to actually fix issues and provide possible patches to the tester (to test) before they've moved on to the next RC. If you wish to track updates more frequently, feel free. Just make sure to report any issues seen against the appropriate release candidate, and try not to move on with open issues that developers would like you to test. Fortunately, the 3.4 release candidates, so far, haven't turned up anything terribly ugly that I've been made aware of, so keeping current will be far less of an issue than cycles (such as 4.0-RELEASE) where we'll probably experience some bumps. -Brian > > Speaking of which, how do you want us to report in ?
