FAQ<\/h2>\n
Q.<\/b>  Did Apple build these binaries?
\nA.<\/b>  No, I built them on my personal server using the instructions I posted here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  What git revisions are included in the build?
\nA.<\/b>  You can use apt-cache show swift-2.2<\/code> to see this information.  For example:<\/p>\n

The source tree is untouched<\/i> for each build.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  Do you test the binaries before you upload them?
\nA.<\/b>  The Swift build process tests the resulting binaries, and I then do run some basic tests and compile my own applications, but there is currently no separate exhaustive test suite.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  Are you releasing builds on a set schedule?
\nA.<\/b>  Not really, though I may try to stay in sync with the releases from Apple.  The idea was to get something out for folks to experiment with and start coding Swift on Linux.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  Where is everything installed?
\nA.<\/b>  Everything gets put in \/usr<\/code>, just like installing clang<\/code>, gcc<\/code>, etc.<\/p>\n
Q.<\/b>  How do I decipher the package version number?
\nA.<\/b>  This was my first take on what I thought should be an appropriate package version number.  Breaking it down, 2.2-0ubuntu3~trusty1<\/code> should be:<\/p>\n
