How to test the 12.10 Kernel and X stack on 12.04 + other necessary packages.

== Testing brainstorm ==
 * Daily or as fast as needed
 * VMs (KVM, XEN)
 * Hardware
   * audio -> needs a plan for spot checking to be automated
   * video -> some good automated testing (pitti to review test plan) What will be the set of tests to run?
     * xorg-gtest
     * piglit (tests 3d)
     * client-space / application tests
   * video hardware
     * Intel
     * ATI w/ -ati driver
     * ATI w/ -fglrx driver
     * NVIDIA w/ -nouveau driver
     * NVIDIA w/ -nvidia driver
   * new hardware
     * will run these tests on new hardware platforms 

QA to have a dashboard for 12.04 with updates with latest kernel testing ready by 05/24. 

== Building ==

Single toolchain? NO

12.10 to build on 12.04 toolchain
Kernel and X server stack into a ppa, along with required packages

== Things Worth Testing ==
 * Verify that xdmx, xnest, xvfb and xserver-xephyr are installable (and still start up properly)
