The more serious issue with a pre-built image is keeping it updated. The puppet scripts will do that automatically. The test server isn't (or at least should not be) static, as new features and tests can require new services etc. be added. If a VM image was provided it would become out of date, and needed to be redownloaded etc. Regards Rich. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
