http://www.openssh.com/portable.html has snapshots every night. Yet
no large mass of people are testing it.

There is a at least 3 calls I try to make before we release portable tree
asking for people to do compile tests of the current snapshots.. Some
days I hear feedback. Some days I don't. Without flying out to every
person's house on this list and beeting them with a blunt object until
they finally download and test there is not much we can do. (Personal
Note: Feel safe.. I'm not a person to do such things. =)
I always try to get a Linux (Mandrake is this flavor of the month),
OpenStep 4.2, and Solaris 2.5.1 and 7 compiling in before we make a
release. I know a few others in the portable group try to test on
all SCOs before the relase, but there are too many possible combinations
to test and I know for a fact I'm not in the position to test everything
from krb4 to s/key at my house (Even if I've compiled s/key in the past to
help debug why it was broken).
Doing OpenSSH-3.1.0-Pre2, pre3, pre4-mouring-fixing-bug release will
not help us. Hell it barely works in the Linux community!!! =)
On a side note: ANY PATCHES THAT ARE NOT IN BUGZILLA WILL/MAY BE LOST.
PLEASE ENSURE THEY GET INTO THE TRACKING SYSTEM.
