Could I request two things that might make testing and support easier: 1) When one of the developers makes a build, could they ensure that it has the build number in the filename. I just noticed that on support mailing lists everyone is talking about build numbers while on the snapshot directory listing, there is no indication which is which. If your node runs, thenit is a simple matter to look at the gateway page and verify which build you have. If it doesn't then it is hard to confirm for trouble-shooting purposes which build you were trying to run.
2) Could each build have a unique file name. Please avoid silently replacing daily snapshots with newer ones during the day and using the same filename. Even if the first snapshot was broken in some way and it is the same build number, please add a unique identifier to the new one (hhmm timestamp for example) to indicate that it is not the same file that someone may have already downloaded before the build problem was found. I think that these two points will make testing a little more reliable. And I know that both scenarios occur since I have been caught by both of them in recent days during the flurry of activity to clean up 0.5 to be ready for prime time. Thanks for the tremendous efforts shown by all the developers now that they are out of the DSB doldrums.
