I was wondering if you had thought of adding the testing of maintained stable kernel versions to the boot farm? I've been testing 3.10-stable and 3.14-stable yesterday/today on Marvell Armada XP, and none of them boot. 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.
Both have been booting for me on Panda FWIW, and v3.14 seems to boot on BBB just fine too.
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?
FWIW my own scripts are just set up to look at all the branches in the stable tree - that seemed easier than worrying about which ones to look at, if something goes out of support there won't be any updates, the cost of looking is virtually zero. If nothing else looking at the older trees is a reminder of how much good paying attention to buildability has been doing.
