I could run this automatically evey night.
Inside a set of different chroots which sync against the tree then try to 
install and package the latest ~amd64 version with a USE combination set per 
chroot.

The resulting build logs can be emailed automatically and binary packages 
uploaded to a specified location. I also have reasonably fast hardware 
available.

If similar activities would be useful for other packages. That should be 
possible as well.

Have reasonably powerful amd64 hardware, can try nightly runs.

Not an affiliated gentoo developer.

I guess it would be best to make up collectively a tiny git repo with
scripts which do exactly what is needed?

First of all it could be a set of chromium builds with different use
flags (a set of such configurations needs to be defined), saved as
binary packages, so that all the builds could be tested at once by
unpacking every build, in turn. All build logs must be saved for review,
and failures should be reported. Makes sense? Ideas? Comments?

I don't use chromium often, but if it's simply bumping the ebuild and testing 
if it builds and runs, then that is something I can help with.
If there also is a quick method to check if the browser actually renders pages 
correctly (a few test-sites) then that can be added to the test-cycle.

Please contact me off-list if this is sufficient.

[gentoo-dev] Help wanted with www-client/chromium

[Mike Gilbert]

Keeping up with the frequent Chromium releases is quite a chore.
Recently, phajdan.jr has been slacking on the masked dev channel
updates due a hardware problem, so I have been spending additional
time on them.

If there are any developers with relatively fast hardware that could
take on the stable and/or beta channel updates, that would be most
appreciated. This is also something that could be done by a trusted
user.

Help with the masked dev channel is also welcome -- especially testing
the various USE flags and unbundling libraries.
