Better testing infrastructure for Gentoo Prefix
Gentoo has a CI system (the tinderbox) to automatically test installation of packages with various configurations. However, during development, changes to ebuilds may break packages in ways that only affect Gentoo prefix and which are not caught by the regular testing. It would be great to have some CI infrastructure in place for Gentoo Prefix bootstraps, but also a similar CI system to the tinderbox running not on vanilla Gentoo, but on Gentoo prefix, to quickly identify problems with new packages as they are introduced into the tree.
