Merged, built on amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x.
What do you mean by "merged"?
That I merged it with Ubuntu changes as in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/bionic.
Ah, that makes sense, testing the sum is a good idea. And I want to know that type of result, thanks. I get that type of report from other companies as well, and it's nice to see the testing spread to more, thanks.
And what are the results of the builds, do you boot them as well? If
All builds succeeded. I was planning on reporting it if they failed, but thought it would be useful to report that they succeeded just as well.
Sure, that's valid, just want to know what you are reporting :)
you boot, are you running any tests on them? Is this QEMU only or "real hardware"?
We run tests on some (mostly virtual) machines for those different architectures before they (the Ubuntu kernels) are released, but not on this phase. In fact, we only merge them or do any build testing after they (your stable releases) are tagged and pushed.
By my own account, I decided I would contribute somehow doing those build tests, but might push for those tests to be run earlier, so we can report back its results, if you find it would be useful.
I would, thanks. Look at how the Linaro results are displayed as an example (maybe a bad one, it's a messy report) about what actually runs and what is testing, to make it a bit more obvious as to what is going on for anyone who might be curious.
thanks again for doing this, much appreciated.
