How Gentoo will rule the world (by increasing tree quality)
===========================================================

Requirements:
- git conversion
- tinderbox from Nirbheek Chauhan's AutotuA GSoC project


Here's a timeline of the workflow, with everything below the pull 
request automated:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Step 1: Simple migration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              |---- Package(s) committed locally
              |
              |---- Push your local branch to a branch of the same name in the
              |       Gentoo shared development repository. It's fine if this
              |       branch is broken, it just needs to get fixed for the
              |       next step.
              |        
              |---- Submit a pull request for the branch
              |
QA: minimal   |---- Your branch is automatically merged to "experimental" branch
Use case:     |       of the primary Gentoo repository
current tree  |
              |---- (temporary) Ship out to "experimental" rsync/git
              |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Step 2: Quality via tinderbox/simple tests
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              |
              |---- Tinderbox
              |
              |---- Compiles?
              |            |
              |            |-- No: Blame the person responsible & revert merge
              |
              |---- Yes: Merge to "compiles" git branch.
              |
              |---- Did src_test() pass?
              |
QA: good      |---- Yes: Merge to "ebuild_tested" git branch.
Use case:     |
new standard  |---- Ship out to "ebuild_tested" rsync/git
tree          |
              |---- *Quality win*
              |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Step 3: Enterprise-level quality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              |
              |---- Did GUI tests (using LDTP) or other integration tests pass?
              |       Prereq: People need to write them.
              |
QA: excellent |---- Yes: Merge to "integration_tested" git branch
Use case:     |
new           |---- Ship out to "integration_tested" rsync/git
enterprise    |
tree          |---- *Enterprise win*
              |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             Step X: Binary packages (optional)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              |
              |---- Provide binary packages built with server & desktop profiles
Use case:     |       Prereq: Solve library SOVER issues.
binary distro |               Portage: stricter deps built into ebuild?
              |
              |---- *Win*
