Well, I'm afraid I can't offer a panacea or the ultimate automated quality assurance system. But for the two cases that I've encountered lately, a simple hibernate/resume would have shown that there's a problem. After all, that's how I and other users noticed it. So I think the primary line of defence against regressions remains the developer himself who should try hard to imagine what ramifications his patch might have and test it accordingly. But I'm aware of the fact that we are all only humans. Another idea might be to give patches that introduce new features or only minimal improvements ample time to mature in the latest stable kernel before backporting them to LTS-kernels, say three or four point-releases. Or to only backport fixes for bugs or security issues. > > We can't do this alone :) Right. For now I can't commit to testing release-candidates because of a lack in time. But I try to bisect and report problems as soon as possible so that they can be resolved quickly. To avoid a false impression: kernelwise - and including amdgpu - I'm rather happy with the current state of affairs. Thanks to all! Rainer Fiebig
