So, you want to help us testing tomb: great.
How can you do it? It depends on 1) what you want to test 2) what _distro_ you use / how skilled are you
Last stable
Install tomb on your system (we provide a repository for debian, and a pkgbuild on aur for archlinux).
Then, do all kind of things you want, and see if you can find any bugs
Bleeding edge
The devs are writing some new feature, and you want to help them testing it.
In this situation, there is not a stable release you can refer to. Instead, you'll have to refer to the git user/branch which has the code you want to test.
It could be in the "main" branch (that is: user=dyne, branch=master) or in a specific branch of some user (example: user=boyska, branch=optparsing)
Archlinux
The AUR contains tomb-git package. You can install it with yaourt -S tomb-git, and it will install the "main" development branch (user=dyne, branch=master).
If you want to use a specific branch, you can just edit the lines that say
#You can customize _gituser and _gitbranch to test specific developer's repo
_gituser="dyne"
_gitbranch="master"
changing _gituser and _gitbranch according to your needs.
