Maybe use a daily build [3] ? This is something we could help from the Debian side, our test coverage for curl is quite extensive and there have been at least 4 recent regressions caught by it, although by the time I got to them you had already either resolved them on git or had an issue open. I could package a pre-GA release to Debian experimental and get these results early, but would there be anyone from the curl project willing to help reviewing possible failures? I can do an initial review to filter out clear false-positives, if any, but I can't promise to have enough time to investigate the failures. Regarding what to ship, it would be ideal if there was an rc release rather than daily snapshots, this way I can at least have some confidence that breakages are less expected/less common at that point. Not having rc releases is fine, but then at what point in the development cycle should I do the packaging for Debian experimental? Assume that it would take roughly 2 days until all builds and all tests are run.
