As some of you have seen in our community meeting and minutes, we are working on actively testing the kernel builds. The short version is a series of regression tests which reside in either the kernel git tree and can be run with 'make tests' or possibly a control script in a kernel-tests subpackage. This will allow any user to run the regression tests against their running kernel on real hardware, and hopefully improve the test base considerably. In addition we will have autotest hooked up to do this plus more extensive testing. More details can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelTestingInitiative So here is the part where we really want to get community involved. We have a wiki page created to list the regression tests that need to be written, and even sign up to write some if you are so inclined. We need your ideas for regression tests. Tests should be simple pass/fail checks. Tests against specific modules are allowed and encouraged. For users testing where they module is not loaded, the test will simply be skipped. Destructive testing is possible, though it will not be included in the standard test run (a user should know and explicitly sign up for a risk of data loss). Please take a look and add your ideas: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelRegressionTests Thanks, Justin _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
