57 Fixed ppc64le configure problem and split into 8 patches. These will be
58 find in github PRs#1304 <https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1304> or in
59 gentoo-dev mail list.

64 The package sys-devel/gnuconfig-9999999::gentoo from
65 https://savanah.gnu.org/projects/config has already fixed the problem with
66 ./config.sub powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu problem

72 So currently I'll put the package.accept_keywords into /etc/portage. How to
73 arch testing for keywords and stablereq?
74 Did we have auto test framework for arch testing in Gentoo Community? For
75 example, Linux Test Project <https://linux-test-project.github.io>( abbrev.
76 LTP)
77 If we have some test strategy, anything could I help for this ?

79 4) you have numerous QA issues. there are still other problems. i would

84 For QA issues, *monsieur* said that "Disregard errors. Stricter QA checks
85 have been turned on."
86 For config.sub, also we can change the app-crypt/shash/shash-0.2.6-r2
87 depends on sys-devel/gnuconfig package
