I always test patches in the CompileFarm.http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm In fact, I only do development in the CompileFarm. I have a not very powerful laptop that is already overworked. I only use linux x86 machines but they have plenty of esoteric hardware and setups for testers. I don't have a good answer to the lack of time. I also have very little free time and the most interesting work is time-consuming. However, just checking whether an unconfirmed PR is still valid takes 5 minutes. When you get proficient writing patches, the most consuming task of fixing a bug may be writing the Changelog. (ok ok, for some very very simple bugs, but they exist!). If you read up to here your English is good enough. We do not need Shakespeare writing code. We need good programmers. Good patches talk by themselves. > But sometimes i submit bug reports :) Good! Thanks! Maybe the next step could be checking whether bug reports are valid or not. ;-) Manuel.
