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
we can just send a pull request toward a branch with the needed changes to https://github.com/gentoo/linux-patches

Testing after committing
Github will automatically check every commit done and show success or failure. Please select the interested branch https://github.com/gentoo/linux-patches/commits/master

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

change files

check buildbot that is building the pushed branch

for removing the branch

for removing it locally

Stabilizing
pushing files to git.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git will start to run some test for stabilizing the package. enabled only for: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-*

If you want to add other packages please ask to alicef
