I prefer to run pre-release tests before releasing a stack.

How can I do that now?

I haven't been able to do that - first tried a couple of weeks ago, but not sure about the current status. At the very least, I think to get a dry stack showing up in the drop down you'd need your entry in https://code.ros.org/svn/release/trunk/distros/fuerte.rosdistro, not at github.com/ros/rosdistro.

Ive been releasing dry stacks using the olde release svn repo and release-legacy method.

I believe updating your information in rosdistro is only for catkin stacks. You can see the output below is calling rosinstall --catkin.
