Overview
The dev server allows you to update your Chromium OS test machine with new builds without having to copy them via a USB drive. It also serves as a static file repository, making it easy to download scripts to customize your test machine for development purposes and install tools required to run functional tests on the system.
Note: Every time you create a Chromium OS build, the URL of the dev server corresponding to your development machine is put into /etc/lsb-release. This file can be changed post-installation to manage a test machine's update source.
