Comment:

One concern, for the .vmdk images the original name of the file somehow gets embedded into the image. Simply renaming the file, after a build cycle will not work.

So, should the filenames of the uncompressed images remain as-is and simply have the compressed archives renamed to use 'walter', instead of 'haiku'?

Or should the build system be adjusted to automatically switch between haiku.vmdk, haiku.image and walter.vmdk, walter.image ?

While we do try to keep our code in a working state at all times, these are not considered to be stable and may be broken in various ways at any given point in time. They are strictly meant for testing only. Applications made for Haiku should be carefully tested on the latest available stable release.

    2121These images are for testing purposes only. They are not compatible with Haiku and shouldn't be used for software development. Unless you are testing for a compiler-dependant bug, please consider downloading a gcc2-hybrid image instead. gcc2-hybrid installations allow to run gcc4-compiled software as well, and they are more tested than these. There is no drawback for using them.
