[rust-dev] Rust 0.4 call for testing

Heya. The Rust folks are putting the final touches on Rust 0.4, and it's going to be a thing to behold. Unfortunately, the number of operating systems we test on is somewhat limited. This is where you can help! Please! We've got a preliminary [tarball] and Windows [exe] built (this is not the final build but it is a known working build). If you are so inclined, then please give it an install on any machine you have available and see that it works correctly, where 'works' probably means 'installs rustc, cargo, rustdoc and the man page and can build and run hello.rs'. Please report problems on the [issue tracker] (or here if you like). The operating systems we currently have coverage on are OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), Centos 6, Ubuntu (various), Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit), Windows 7 (64-bit). Our OS X coverage is good, Windows is not excellent, and Linuxes other than Ubuntu are less exercised. Some specific systems that we would like to know more about: Arch - Arch installs python3 as the default and this has caused problems with the llvm build. It should be resolved now (in some way, maybe just by properly detecting python3 and aborting) but isn't verified. #[2720] Debian Wheezy - We have a report that the snapshot compiler doesn't work here (may be 64-bit specific). #[3641] Ubuntu 12.10 - Do we still work on the next Ubuntu? Any other Windows or Linuxes.
