So, over the past few months, I’ve sent in numerous requests on bugzilla for various packages to be stabled across the different architectures that Gentoo supports. Mostly, they’ve been for xterm and gnucash. In most cases, the early responders to those bugs are the Gentoo Architecture Testers (Arch Testers, or ATs, for short).
These fine people are running stable profiled machines and this is what they do — they test packages that are candidates for stable and report. I’ve had bugs reported back to me through their efforts, and mostly they verify my requests, and make it easier for the architecture teams with commit access to change the keywords.
So, props and a major shout out to all the architecture testers out there in Gentoo land. Your efforts and work are very truly appreciated.
This is so true. From an arch team perspective, they are so great. They do all the work for us!
