If you want to qualify for a specific target, then you will need to do everthing listed on that page. I have a script to do a lot of it automatically and another to diff nightly tester results.

Typically, what I ask of the community is to do a subset. So, most will just take the pre-packaged binaries that are released as a pre-release and do the testing with those. Or some will build only release mode and do testing. I'll send out instructions for this once the pre-release1 has been released to the community.

So are you actually interested in becoming a part of the release team and doing a full qualification for some target or did you just want to do community testing? I interpreted your response as wanting to do community testing, but perhaps I was wrong.

If you wanted to become a part of the release team, please send me mail offlist with the targets you want to qualify. 

Thanks,
Tanya
