Alright, so here's what I think on the whole thing now that I made a nice tidy |
| 2 |
[Summary] thread. |

There seems to be some concern about AT testers having more privileges than |
| 5 |
some other devs. First off, I hope everyone saw the readonly access, and |
| 6 |
even so, the whole point of this thing is to make development smoother. |

Basically, if someone comes up to an arch tester and is like "I just put this |
| 9 |
in the tree and I think it works on amd64, can you test it for me?". Said |
| 10 |
person has to wait an hour or so for rsync to propigate, which may be the |
| 11 |
time it takes to test the package. That provides a roadblock to efficiency, |
| 12 |
not to mention you only get so many emerge --syncs before our rysnc servers |
| 13 |
happily ban you. |

So in conclusion, I think the costs here (having more privileges) do not |
| 16 |
outweigh the benifits (having things tested for various archs within a |
| 17 |
reasonable time period). |
