1 Dear all,
2
3 I would like to understand how to set up an acceptable testing environment for amd64 packages as per
4 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_testing
5
6 and would like to go the chroot way. Is the following setup acceptable
7 to test an ebuild for pkg-cat/pkg-name ?
8
9 1- download stage3, unpack it in /mnt/gentoo
10 2- chroot in /mnt/gentoo
11 3- emerge --sync, select stable profile default/linux/amd64/17.1
12 4- update the @world set
13 5- add to make.conf the variables from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_testing (with multilib-strict added to FEATURES)
14 6- emerge portage with the gentoo_dev use flag
15 7- emerge pkg-cat/pkg-name (ebuild test)
16 8- runtime test the package if needed
17
18 I'm happy to amend the above checklist however appropriate and
19 contribute to the wikipage related to chroot.
20
21 Thanks in advance,
22 Best regards,
23 David Denoncin.
