Ok. That sounds reasonable. How much is considered enough testing? |
| 5 |
If I install an ebuild and it at least compiles and starts up with |
| 6 |
no problems, should I submit it to the list? Or should I wait a while, |
| 7 |
test it more thoroughly before submitting it? |
| 8 |

If I wait to much, I'm afraid I'll forget to do it. Is there a way |
| 10 |
that I can ask the system which non-keyworded packages I am running? |
| 11 |
That way I could do this every month or so and report whether I had |
| 12 |
or had not had problems with that package. |

A little automated script to do this might be handy. Something that |
| 15 |
says "You've been running this untested package X for 25 days. Have |
| 16 |
you had any problems with it?" Maybe providing something like that |
| 17 |
with gentoo would encourage feedback. |
