I think Ralf's idea is great. A lot of other projects use nightly builds successfully. I don't think a vbox image would be necessary as no-one would use nightly builds on a production environment,
It is not about using anything in prod but catch bugs as early as possible in the QA process.
I understand that. Automated distribution packaging of wip code is not meant for production but for rapid deployment of "clean state" test environments. It's similar to a CI suite. If there is enough interest in php snapshots as rpm, I could begin such a setup on monday.

If I could run my own VM (that much I can do) and periodically just do apt-get update php-head, that would lower the barrier to testing new versions by several orders of magnitude. (Yeah yeah insert RPM vs. Apt debate here; both are good to have.) That would be *sweet*. +1 --Larry Garfield
