[gentoo-dev] Help for arch teams

[Christian Faulhammer]

Hi,

[CC some arch teams, too, as not all devs read -dev]

As promised [1] about two months ago, the template for Gatt, that
handles all the commit stuff for architecture developers, is now ready
to be used by the public. Some bugs in Gatt needed to be resolved and
heavy testing has been done. 

1. Emerge the package with Gatt
2. Test the software
3. Use the template named "keywords" shipped with Gatt to create a
script for stabilisation Execute it on the system you have commit
access from

All needed commands are given in the TUTORIAL file, so I concentrate on
what the script can do for you: 

* determine if it is a keywording or stabilisation request
* determine if it is a security stabilisation and set ChangeLog/commit
message plus Bugzilla handling correctly
* update of cvs tree before doing any work
* setting needed keyword 
* setting ChangeLog scan for QA errors (repoman)
* commit it to the repository
* uncc arch from bug including message "arch stable" 
* and close bug if needed (not when security related) always
with confirmation

Test it and report back.  Thanks.

V-Li
