Recently there was a discussion about better tools for arch teams, to speed up stabilizations and make them less error-prone.
Here's my answer to that, still in very early development: <http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/arch-tools.git;a=summary> You can just launch it like this: ./bugzilla-viewer.py --arch x86 It has more options, and can even try to do the stabilization in cvs tree and capture repoman output (it has to be enabled from the command-line, see --help). I think the key thing for arch teams is batching. Compilation takes time, viewing web pages has latency, so we should maximize the work that a developer can do within his limited time. To do that, we should prepare as much information as possible up-front (this is the goal of bugzilla-viewer.py). Then the developer can quickly process the list of bugs, and decide what he's going to test. And then we can have tools for batch-testing, batch-committing, and so on. Some of them already exist. Patches welcome, and please let me know what you think!
