+Described rules differ from what developers might have gotten used to with PLD 2.0 development. Main thing to remember: nobody ever uses packages generated from test builds and normal builds result in packages being uploaded to the "test" tree. Be sure to read the info about [[:th|user visible changes in Th]] since they also heavily impact development.
+===== Mailing list =====
+Reports from builders are always sent to the [[http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-logs-th|pld-log-th]] mailing list. It's usually a good idea to subscribe.

 ==== Normal builds ====
-Normal builds are used for day to day package building. Packages built this way are uploaded to ''"th/test"'' tree and are potential candidates for inclusion into the main tree. Don't get overconservative with choosing what to send though  -- people using the test tree are expected to know their way around with poldek, so it's perfectly ok to send a not completely working package, say a snapshot. The destination tree is named "test" for a reason. Do note however, that developers are allowed to send requests for snapshots, but not to get those snapshots installed on our builders, since that might interfere with mainstream building (and get lots of people really irritated). There are also two modes for sending requests:
