For me personally I'm gathering all functionality inside tatt which aims at doing it all from one executable. Some x86 arch testers use it already, but I must admit that development has been slow. People (including me) seem to find it hard to start using somebody elses tools. There was app-portage/gatt which I tried out when I became an arch tester, but I found it insanely complicated, so I wrote tatt. I assume that at some point people will find tatt too complicated and write yaatt (yet another ... ). In principle, this is what Pawel is doing. I think an ecosystem of different arch testing tools is really useful. Let's have a page in our docs where everybody can explain his or her tool. Where in the hierarchy should the page be? How about: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/arch-testing Cheers, Thomas -- Thomas Kahle http://dev.gentoo.org/~tomka/
