Described rules differ from what deverlopers might have gotten used to with PLD 2.0 development. Main thing to remember: nobody ever uses packages generated from test builds.

There are two types of requests for Th builders.

Test builds are used only for testing if a given package builds. Requests sent with the test-build flag result in:

• Packages being built but never automatically upgraded.
• Package sources not getting tagged in our cvs repo (no auto-th-* tag)
• RPM's getting uploaded to a hidden “.test-builds” tree on our ftp server. Files are automatically deleted from that tree after a couple of days and poldek indexes never get generated for them.

Normal builds are used for day to day package building and also for building expermiental apps.
