But do you want to test a specific SVN revision ? Or actually files that are
released as a whole (packages) ?
Or both ? See my reply next.

Step 1, 2 and 3 tells how to put include files into a release by registering
it in TORELEASE. As you know (do you know ?), filling TORELEASE file is a
continuous process, once you've written, tested and discussed about your
library, you just put it in TORELEASE and that's it. That's how we're able
to provide weekly builds (bee packages).

As this is a continuous process, bugs occuring at this time are usually
packaging bugs (missing a specific documentation file, empty directory,
etc... these are just examples). Functional, library related bugs can occur
(and have occured) but this is usually a sign that something wrong happened
before (buildbot didn't catch that things, because... for instance).

And, since this is a continuous process, 30 days look rather too long to me.
