There's about 3-4 forks/clones of patchwork. snowpatch is one, we have a different one on freedesktop.org.

We do have presubmit CI working already with our freedesktop.org patchwork. The missing glue is just tying that into gitlab CI somehow (since we want to unify build testing more and make it easier for contributors to adjust things). -Daniel > > super basic stuff. > > I am really excited to hear back on what you think! > > Cheers! > > [1] https://kunit-review.googlesource.com/c/linux/+/1509/10#message-7bfa40efb132e15c8388755c273837559911425c > [2] https://kunit-review.googlesource.com/c/linux/+/1509/10#message-a6784496eafff442ac98fb068bf1a0f36ee73509 > [3] https://developer.ibm.com/open/projects/snowpatch/ > [4] https://kunit.googlesource.com/prow-lkml/ > _______________________________________________ > dri-devel mailing list > dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch
