We provide no way for regular users to help us test the development branch.
Do we have a mechanism in place to upload daily/nightly/weekly builds from GIT?
If not then what needs to be done to provide that access? What about the GIT repo itself?
For example, I notice the following directory:
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde-packaging/tree/slackware
Although intended for hosting build scripts and packaging information, why not a single
set of binary packages too?
The packages would not be mirrored.

While using GIT to store binary packages is not a good idea, your general
point is well taken. I take it most packagers would not be able to use
OBS or host the nightly build packages themselves?

What is OBS? Open Build Service? An idea. A quick search indicates only about 10 distros
are supported.
My thinking is even when individuals wanted to host packages, users with each distro
typically do not know packagers. How do typical users who want to help know about testing
packages? They would first look in the Trinity web site.
Possibly the first step to this question is a link or set of links at the Trinity web site
home page to "Unofficial Development Branch Testing Packages" just under
"For developers and alpha/beta testers."
Is the GIT repo "packaging" section available to host a testing package set?

Due to its nature GIT is a very poor choice for hosting binary files of
any type, let alone binary files which would be expected to change
frequently. The packaging section of GIT could, however, store testing
versions of the text files used to build packages in addition to the
official versions.
