The qemu images are listed along with all the other release images, so I feel that's pretty out in the open. The nightly site is listed in the FQA as well. However I would still suggest that most users at least start with a release iso. We do a lot more testing leading up to a release then we have automated for the nightly releases. Most of these other things, the github mirrors and drawterm CI, are more of a developer convenience then anything else. To me it doesn't make much sense to advertise them as much. I shopped this stuff around local 9front watering holes at the time. The contributions and technical discussion happening about developing 9front code has not historically happened much on 9fans, don't get me wrong I am very pleased that it is, however it is not surprising that some newer changes take a bit of time to get around. > > Clearly if people are having the troubles in Ron's email, then this > information is > not as available or obvious as it should be. > > Not denigrating your message, just pointing out a usability problem. I have not seen the bug reports, so it is hard for me to say. When someone had issues were they directed to finding resources in the 9front FQA? Were they directed to reporting drawterm build bugs to us? Are there specific changes you would make to the FQA that would better communicate this information? > > I'll use your resources in the future :) > Please do. :) Thanks, Jacob ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tbe8e5fda6ae62f5c-Mcda621cf5f872a11e5ea3398 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
