The person that would do the testing needs to setup the whole repository and create different sets of packages. The idea with doing a testing deployment was to work out these parts and leave the "test the software that the user will see" to early adopters. A list right now will be something along the lines of: - Clone Thandy, read the docs, setup a repository. - Create packages, bundles and thp data packages, then create updates for those in the form of: update the whole bundle, update just one package within the bundle. Also create a package that would act as the bootstrap package to test the case "update the bootstrap app", create a package that would act as Thandy itself, another for Vidalia for similar purposes. - Clone thandy-bootstrapper, build it. - Create a binary for the Thandy client with PyInstaller. - Use the latest Vidalia alpha with the thandy plugin from vidalia-plugins.git repo. - Simulate updating each of the packages/bundles you've created and see where it breaks. - Report bugs to trac.torproject.org under the Thandy component. If we create a repo with actual functional packages and a tbb with the thandy plugin and bootstrapper, and we keep the packages up to date with the tor/torbrowser/vidalia releases, we can just tell the users "download this (having in mind that it's for testing and things might break) and just use it, it should update by itself, if something breaks, report to trac".
