Oolite Bulletins

Quoting from the recent Official Release of 1.77 Announcement:

For OXP creators, testers and whomever in general would prefer the Test Release configuration, patch programs are available that will do the switch for you. See http://developer.berlios.de/project/fil ... up_id=3577 for download details.

I note that a patch is available for Windows, but not, apparently for Linux. Am I correct in inferring that if anyone wishes to use the Linux Test Release, they must download the full oolite-1.77-test.linux-XXXX package, as opposed to the oolite-1.77.linux-XXXX package?

Correct. If it has -test in the filename, it refers to a test release configuration, otherwise refers to deployment. For Linux, you will have to download one or the other, depending on which configuration you would prefer to go with.

Ok, thanks.. I've already updated to the deployment release via the oolite-update script, so I think Ill leave it as is for now.. it will be interesting to compare the performance difference between it and trunk.
