Dear all,

I would like to understand how to set up an acceptable testing environment for amd64 packages as per
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_testing

and would like to go the chroot way. Is the following setup acceptable
to test an ebuild for pkg-cat/pkg-name ?

1- download stage3, unpack it in /mnt/gentoo
2- chroot in /mnt/gentoo 
3- emerge --sync, select stable profile default/linux/amd64/17.1
4- update the @world set 
5- add to make.conf the variables from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_testing (with multilib-strict added to FEATURES)
6- emerge portage with the gentoo_dev use flag 
7- emerge pkg-cat/pkg-name (ebuild test)
8- runtime test the package if needed

I'm happy to amend the above checklist however appropriate and
contribute to the wikipage related to chroot.

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
David Denoncin.
