If we're going to spend energy solving the problem, let's make sure we solve it well :D The root problem, AIUI is that while we can retrieve old images, the tools we use to test those images aren't similarly retrievable. There's several different conceptual angles we can try to solve this problem: 1) We could try and change the Ubuntu archive so it keeps old versions around forever. Almost certainly not going to happen. 2) We could try and change the phone images so they include the test tools. #2 seems like a much more feasible goal to me. Has anyone looked at the possibility of including the test dependencies in the phone image, but disabling them when not in developer mode? I can anticipate several concerns with this approach (using up valuable image space for one, security for another), but I think we can address those concerns as they arise. Thoughts?
