Testing Ebuilds

Stupid question I know, but I can't find the answer (which is probably obvious somewhere). Chuck is masked by a missing keyword. To test it on my arch, what do I do? Do I just have to see if it works, and then post that is does work (or doesn't and what errors I get) on bugzilla? Or do I have to do more than that. Also, what will I need to say about my system on the bug report?

Hi,

install the package from portage, give it some thoroughly testing and if it works with no big glitches (like data corruption or frequent crashes) file a keyword request for the package at https://bugs.gentoo.org

Cheers

There are also these guidelines and test system setup requirements for amd64 arch testers, that are probably pretty up to date, and give a little more detail. But since you're not an official tester, not sure how critical that would be. You could email one of the arch tester leads or ask on irc.
