Testing New Releases and Updates
|
||
|
|
================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Testing new Qubes OS releases and updates is one of the most helpful ways in which you can [contribute] to the Qubes OS Project.
|
||
|
|
However, you should only attempt to do this if you know what you're doing.
|
||
|
|
Never rely on code that is in testing for critical work!
|
||

Releases
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
How to test upcoming Qubes OS releases:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use [qubes-builder] to build the latest release.
|
||
|
|
* Test the latest release candidate (RC), if any is currently available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See [Version Scheme] for details about release versions and schedules.
|
||
|
|
See [Release Checklist] for details about the RC process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Updates

Providing Feedback
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
If you're testing new releases or updates, we would be grateful for your feedback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We use an [automated build process].
|
||
|
|
For every package that is uploaded to a testing repository, a GitHub issue is created in the [updates-status] repository for tracking purposes.
|
||
|
|
We welcome any kind of feedback on any package in any testing repository.
|
||
|
|
Even a simple <span class="fa fa-thumbs-up" title="Thumbs Up"></span> or <span class="fa fa-thumbs-down" title="Thumbs Down"></span> on the package's associated issue would help us to decide whether the package is ready to be migrated to a stable repository.
|
||
|
|
If you [report a bug] in a package that is in a testing repository, please reference the appropriate issue in [updates-status].
