Project listing

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.

Participating

We are constantly looking for new arch testers. If you meet the following criteria, 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 the following developers from chapter 3. They will lead you through the process and help you complete the AT quiz.

Note
Arch testers are not official Gentoo developers. They are, however, a recognized part of the Gentoo/amd64 arch team.

Arch tester's policy

There are a few rules which must be followed to assure a certain quality level. Gentoo/amd64 arch testers must fulfill these requirements:

  • Use a stable system or a stable chroot environment for testing.
  • Use reasonable C{XX}FLAGS.
  • Append the -Wl and --hash-style=gnu values to the LDFLAGS variable in make.conf.
  • Enable at least the following FEATURES: multilib-strict, collision-protect, sandbox, userpriv, usersandbox, and test in make.conf.
  • Test thoroughly.
  • Before requesting a stablization, check that the ebuild is at least 30 days old and without modifications.
  • Try to keep your comments short on stabilization bugs.
  • Build/QA problems must be reported on separate bugs and block the stabilization bug.
  • Use the category/package-version format when reporting success or failure.
  • On Bugzilla, do not use the comment 'amd64 stable', use 'amd64 tested' or 'amd64 ok' instead
