Hi Dave,

About crystalizing dev builds. I think we could have a small set of
conditions for clear "dev" builds, say:
"at least 4 out of 5 dedicated testers reporting they could run it for at
least 48 hours without crashes, unplanned reboots or unexpected network
behaviour".

You could setup a recurring meeting in our calendars to put in place
something like this:
a) you build on every 4th thursday
b) testers fetch/install next friday
c) testers run it for the weekend
d) testers report on Monday
e) dave decides wheter to make it a solid dev build or not.

I can be a tester, I've been using various builds for some time now, they
really work for me.

One positive comment on functionality:

I no longer have to IPTABLES -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT to allow my wired TV to
discover my wireless media server client and DLNA works OK. (I know, it's a
lazy/insecure way of fixing it)
All the best!
Maciej
