I'm making a bunch of local ebuilds and it would be useful to feed those upstream and try and get them into the main tree as quickly as possible. For sure I can feed bugzilla, but there are plenty of bugs there already - closing them is the issue, not opening more... I'm using uclibc, slightly newer than latest release. Actually with this I see VERY few problems with other ebuilds and my local patch tree has shrunk to near zero. Pushing that out to tree would be highly desirable, but I only have x86 to test with - we need some non x86 testers to prove things Note that uclibc feel that they release infrequently enough that every release should be considered stable and no one should be lagging the latest release. How can we make this happen? Ed W
