This all sounds like you'll be a valuable contributor, since I for one am generally an Ubuntu late adopter :-). I think I'll try messing around with a script to validate the packages from your computer. As more people contribute builds, this will come up again. Having a 'pd' account would be useful too. If you really want to support Ubuntu-current, you could also have a debootstrap chroot in /var/chroot/precise, for example, and the build scripts will build using that chroot. That's how the i386 builds of natty, oneiric, and precise are done. Here's how: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
