I was wondering if you had thought of adding the testing of maintained stable kernel versions to the boot farm?
Yes, we've been doing stable build/boot testing for awhile, here are a few examples from my boot farm:
latest 3.10.y: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/kernel-build-reports/2014-December/006614.... latest 3.12.y: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/kernel-build-reports/2014-December/006586.... latest 3.14.y: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/kernel-build-reports/2014-December/006593.... lastet 3.17.y: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/kernel-build-reports/2014-December/006595.... latest 3.18.y: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/kernel-build-reports/2014-December/006810....
I've been testing 3.10-stable and 3.14-stable yesterday/today on Marvell Armada XP, and none of them boot.
Based on the boot reports above, looks like openblocks was booting on v3.10.y and v3.14.y just fine for me. BTW, I have the big-endian boot testing blacklisted on v3.10 since it wasn't known working then.
I don't know (yet) if it's a regression introduced by the 3.10-stable and 3.14-stable branches, or some original problem in 3.10/3.14, but it would be very useful to have a monitoring on the bootability of the stable kernels.
You do. :)
As of now, the maintained kernels are 2.6.32, 3.2, 3.4, 3.10, 3.12, 3.14, 3.17 and 3.18. I personally don't care about anything before 3.10. Don't know about others.
Thoughts?
I only test v3.10 and later.
