Gentoo/AMD64 Arch Testers

Content:

1.  Project Description

The Gentoo/AMD64 Arch Testers (ATs) assist the developers with the time-consuming testing to help keeping the Portage tree up to date. They mainly communicate with the developers through Gentoo's Bugzilla and IRC. The ATs are also on the amd64@gentoo.org mail alias so they can watch the bugzilla traffic closely.

2.  Participating

We are constantly looking for new arch testers. If you meet the following criterias, you are likely our ideal candidate:

  • You are running Gentoo/AMD64.
  • You like tinkering around with new software.
  • You want to get involved in Gentoo development, help to make the distribution better every day.

If you want to participate, email hparker@gentoo.org or dang@gentoo.org. They will lead you through the process and help you with the ebuild quiz which is a requirement for all ATs.

Note: Arch testers are not official Gentoo developers. They are, however, a recognized part of the Gentoo/AMD64 arch team.

  • Use reasonable CFLAGS
  • Enable at least the following FEATURES: multilib-strict, collision-protect, sandbox, test
  • Test thoroughly
  • Before requesting a stablization, check that the ebuild is at least 30 days old and without modifications
