Re: [gentoo-alt] Re: 'Continuous Integration' for Gentoo Prefix?

A separate list that people can opt-in would make a lot of sense!

I tried setting up a OSX based CI... but I wanted to try on a OSX machine
first, and I know nothing about Mac's so I failed miserably.

I should try to use a VM as I've read in the internet, but that seems quite
time consuming to figure it out.

I also started very minimally to look into ARM via qemu, also in a CI
environment. But it's no priority for me right now, so I also have that
paused.
