That could be, we need to add tags to the boards that have it so that you
can be sure, but for the audio cables, they are cheap enough that we should
really just put them everywhere.  And yes, even if the the test fails
currently, we should still run it if it's ready to go.  Is it ready to go?
If so, I'd like to get it merged, and either in the daily runs or in some
special multimedia run if that is preferred.

About cmatest: I have try to test the latest version (v21) but it failed

We'll try to look into this today.

Great! It's done in json, so we can't merge it, but it would be possible to
get into regular runs anyway.  Looks like it takes maybe 45 min. to run.
Any special requirements here?

I'm not sure what you mean here, you don't necessarily have to have the
rootfs from the exact same day.  As for the backload on the boards and not
getting your job in quickly, there are a couple of things to be aware of:
First, we had an issue with the scheduler earlier in the week and needed to
shut it down for a bit.  Short story is that it's back up now, processing
jobs, and it's mostly cleared the queue that had built up.  There are now
lots of boards sitting idle (even snowball).  Next, on snowball, we only
have 3 at the moment.  We're supposed to get some more, but that means for
now they are going to be pretty busy.

The health checks are part of an effort to try to detect when there's
something wrong with the board, or infrastructure that would prevent jobs
from passing when they normally should.  They aren't likely to go away, but
we just merged something that should help us make them faster.

Thanks,
Paul Larson
