There's not even a testing process. Technically, Erinn was supposed to manage a pool of build testers, but she is also overwhelmed with other deliverables, and this testing process is not an official funded deliverable. However, regardless of what funders think, the process is absolutely critical, as recent events now clearly illustrate. Now that Sebastian is also officially working on build stuff, my hope is that between the two of them, we can come up with some process that works. At this point, any process is better than no process. Once we have a process and some interested testers, I will jot down a list of existing test sites that we can use as a stopgap while we figure out https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5292 and https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5750. > > See also #3846 and consider signing up to test builds in your > > hardened, auditing setups. > > By 'signing up' do you mean, subscribe to #3846 or how does the 'sign > up' process look like? > > https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/build/BuildSignoff You did the right thing. Adding yourself to Cc on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3846 will keep you appraised of the process as it materializes. > Where does one get the info that a new version is about to be released? > Where are pre-releases available for download? I'll leave that to Sebastian and/or Erinn to decide. -- Mike Perry
