Sean T. Allen: We need you to help test out the nightly builds of ponyc and stable. The ponyc nightly is a .tar.gz archive that should work on any x86-64 glibc based Linux. stable is a static binary that should work on any x86-64 Linux. We need your help in verifying that they work without issue. Please download them and put em through their paces. Please report any issues on their respective repos. The nightlies are available in this temporary testing repo and once will be moved to a more official one later. In the meantime, please help out and give em a try: https://cloudsmith.io/~main-pony/repos/pony-nightlies/packages/ New packages are uploaded every day around midnight UTC. Some members of the community have already joined in and reported some issues for the ponyc nightly builds. Please lend a hand as well. Thanks!
