I've had my own overlay for a while, maintaining my own versions of
plex, new relic and even some removed packages that I use.
Until the the other day I was just making sure they install and work for
myself, I have now discovered repoman and have several issues which
actually need tidying up.
On top of this I store this in a private gitlab install so am now
looking at CI/CD to automate the testing, but at this point I'm at the
point of creating my own gentoo docker image with various things
pre-installed to start serious check/test/install of new ebuilds.

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