Testing the system: tools and packages

Basic to intermediate linux and github knowledge is requied.

To see first:

Testing the tools

You can test the multiple tools of Stock Linux: the installer, squirrel and hazel. You can test new/old functions, and report any bug or wanted feature into the issues page of the repo following the default template.

Testing packages

rolling branch

The rolling branch is the stable branch. It shouldn't have any bugs but there can still be have some.

To test it, just install the system and install the packages you want, and report any bugs on the issues pages of the packages repo. You can also do that by just using Stock as your daily driver.

testing branch

The testing branch is the developpement branch. Packages are in it when they are added/updated. This branch can have a lot of bugs, so don't use it as your default OS.

You have two options for testing it: inside a virtual machine, or in dual boot. We prefer the second option because it is a real life use case, as it can test some drivers for example. Report any bug on the issues pages.
