There are two ways you can use your system to help. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
First, you could help by doing builds of stages and ISO. You will need |
| 34 |
to learn about Catalyst via the Releng project[1]. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Second, you can help by testing packages as an Arch Tester (AT)[2] for |
| 37 |
sparc. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
It really depends on how much time you want to contribute. |
