Sure. I'll enable the testsuite in the build for now. Eventually when we
have a more comprehensive test suite, I'll package the tests so that
they can run as autopkgtest's instead.

At the moment, we have a single branch for Oxide (trunk), which is based
on the Chromium dev channel. Eventually, we will have 3 branches
(stable, beta and trunk), with beta and stable tracking the
corresponding Chromium branches. Stable will be what is shipped in the
distro, and there will be PPA's for the other builds (like we have for
Firefox). We haven't created those yet because we're still adding the
required bits for webapps.

The plan for transitioning to a stable branch in the archive is:
- Once we're happy to freeze the code (ie, we've got all of the major bits for 
webapps in), we will create a beta branch when Google next update their beta 
from the dev channel.
- At this point, the code is frozen (other than bug fixes).
- When Google then update their stable from beta (around 6 weeks later), we 
will create a stable branch from our beta.
- From this point the archive will always contain the stable branch, although 
we might switch to beta or trunk early in a development cycle

As for the supported architectures - we're mainly limited to the
architectures that V8 has an assembler for, which is currently x86,
x86-64 and arm (the same as Chromium). I believe that Google is working
on aarch64 support. There are no plans to support other architectures,
and anybody who wanted to add support for them would need to convince
Google to include that support in V8 upstream (along with any other
build system support for those architectures). We'd be unlikely to
accept Chromium patches to add architecture support in V8 due to the
burden that these would place on development (the patches would be huge,
V8 is fast moving and we're probably going to be handling 1-2 Chromium
dev updates per week)
