1. Gentoo/PPC Arch Testers

1.a. PPC Arch Testers Information

Gentoo/PPC will maintain a pool of "Arch Testers" (ATs) and one or more PPC Developers will take the responsibility of managing the AT group. ATs will be included on the ppc@gentoo.org alias, so they can be informed of all bug activity. The current AT head for PPC is Joseph Jezak. Any problems, suggestions and/or flames should be directed at him.

ATs will be responsible for responding to all test requests in a timely manner (including keywording, security, marking stable, requests from devs on irc, etc...) and ensuring that the application works, as well as check that the ebuild doesn't contain any glaring errors. ATs must keep their system up to date, use reasonable CFLAGS, and keep with the current profile. When marking a bug as tested all ATs will use the keyword "TESTED" in bugzilla (in the "keywords" field)

Gentoo/PPC developers will be able to take ATs word at their own discretion since ultimately, committing the requested changes will be the dev's responsibility . Feel free to ask for more than one tester if you feel the bug warrants it.

Prospective AT's will have to pass the ebuild quiz. Additionally, all quizes should be submitted to the PPC AT leader and hparker (who has graciously volunteered to mentor potential PPC ATs).

A note about arch testers "status": Gentoo/PPC Arch Testers are not official Gentoo developers. They are, however, a recognized part of the Gentoo/PPC arch team. All AT's should keep this in mind when selecting email signatures or other forms of communication.
