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?
There is a package to automate this, via docker:
dev-python/ebuildtester. For other methods, see
<https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Test_environment>.
Kind regards, tastytea
Thanks, tastytea, this is very helpful.
