question: using test builds vs RCs? #233

Hi, small question,

is it safe to test with builds from the Actions? Like: https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/actions/workflows/windows-build-test.yml

I saw that maybe some fixes were added from investigations in #227 and wanted to kick the tires some more. Is there any reason that I can't fork, run that action, and then install the inno build?

I don't know if I would call it safe, but it works if you want to play around with it.

Speaking of forking, there's no reason you cant, but you could just grab the inno installers that get output in this repo.

PS you should install the test certs to make life easier when installing https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/tree/development/contrib/windows/TestCert

and use these instructions if windows crashes https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/tree/development/contrib/windows/parsedump

Have fun
