I am not helping at all in testing the install from CDROM. The easy way to do that is via a VM, which I think has adequate coverage, and installing on a spare system (that I will lightly use) would be inadequate, I think. I am trying to assist in running the test-cases that do NOT require CD installs, but PPA, unity, etc. Example is the call I saw this week for evince. Since I use evince all the time on my main laptop, it is more likely, IMHO, that I will tickle a bug there. I know this is not perfect, but it is relatively painless. > I ask that you attend these sessions where the usage Zsync will be > explained early on.

But my idea was to stay on the proposed-updates, and raring, and feed bug reports into the packages themselves, rather than QA. -- Sanjeev
