We are setting up https://github.com/gentoo/proxy-maintainers to deal |
| 20 |
with some of these problems; if sunrise continues to decrease activity, |
| 21 |
I suspect this repository has a chance to become its successor. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Travis integration is used to cover QA issues, see |
| 24 |
https://travis-ci.org/gentoo/proxy-maintainers which runs repoman on |
| 25 |
the overlay for each commit; therefore, QA issues don't go unnoticed. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
To improve the workflow further; we use app-portage/overlint to catch |
| 28 |
differences between that repository and the Portage tree, after which |
| 29 |
there is room for even much more automation; thus more time reviewing. |
