i manually sync with the gentoo-x86 repo from time to time (except security |
| 15 |
issues, which i sync as soon as they are fixed) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
i have no automated way to detect any tree breakage, but when i sync the |
| 18 |
complete tree i do extensive manual testing on a handfull of machines |
| 19 |
(either staging machines, or ones that are not really important) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
but the main reason i even have a clone is to sync updates in batches. it's |
| 22 |
really a hassle to keep servers in sync when changes to gentoo-x86 happen |
| 23 |
any other minute. i also need to adapt my chef cookbooks for some updates, |
| 24 |
so i do it all in one batch (sync, test, adapt, test, deploy) |

it's not really about delaying stabilization ... there is quite a big list |
| 31 |
of packages in my repo where i always stabilize the latest version(s) even |
| 32 |
if gentoo-x86 is unstable. e.g. i've stabled openrc a looong time before |
| 33 |
gentoo-x86 had it stable, etc. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
it's also a lot easier to add new packages because i don't have to support |
| 36 |
everything and the kitchen sink ... my repo just supports amd64 and it also |
| 37 |
has quite a few binary ebuilds which would not be a good fit for gentoo-x86 |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
if you're interested, it's all on github: |
| 40 |
https://github.com/zentoo/zentoo(all the sync tools are in the script |
| 41 |
directory and were initially copied |
| 42 |
from the prefix guys, but have been heavily modified since ...) |

Cheers, |
