You need to answer the ebuild development quiz. People interested should read the pointers mentioned in a previous email of this thread, and mail me or sci@g.o. so we can gather all requests. > I think this idea that was mentioned in the previous thread would be espe= cially=20 > suitable for the sci-team and its packages that often require, besides th= e normal=20 > ebuild practices, some special expertise to carry out full runtime testin= g.

Will a presum= ably small=20 > community using the scientific packages need this kind of an extra layer?= =20 Possible ways to have some tests procedures: - bugzilla: add the test procedure to an existing new package bug, or file a new bug properly assigned to the herd mentioned in the ebuild metadata.xml. - overlay: write test procedures, just as the emacs project did [1] I will see with overlay.g.o staff if we can open our overlay wiki to the gentoo science community and make it a more general wiki. -- S=C3=A9bastien [1] http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/emacs --=-f2N1nwsBz3+UDFkra4XG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBHFIll1ycZbhPLE2ARApO5AJ9moAYNw+uJtqahBrkOD3PA5PVwyQCeIYJb 7ltt2kqmW0rQaJS1Wre/tco= =8ZPI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-f2N1nwsBz3+UDFkra4XG-- -- gentoo-science@gentoo.org mailing list
