Using Github
With Github changes are immediate, there is no need to wait. The result is also display near the commit on GitHub.
Testing before committing
Send a pull request toward a branch with the needed changes to https://github.com/gentoo/linux-patches
Using Git
With git we are using a time check done every 10 minutes. So the build can take some time before starting.
Testing before committing
Making a branch like 4.11_001 will test the new commit in the new branch:
root #git checkout 4.11
root #git branch 4.11_001Change files:
root #git push -u origin 4.11_001Check buildbot that is building the pushed branch.
For removing the branch:
root #git push origin --delete 4.11_001For removing a branch locally:
root #git branch -D 4.11_001Reproducing the environment
Adding a worker
