1 Hi there,
2
3 I am taking on maintaining a package in gentoo-sci overlay. What are
4 good ways to test that my ebuild works before creating a pull request?
5
6 I am thinking to install a Gentoo Prefix, snapshot its "vanilla" state,
7 and run `emerge $mypackage` in the vanilla Prefix as a test. Are there
8 better strategies?

10 Thanks,
11 Anton
