Hi all,
The Kernel Working Group is getting ready to release the first of our new monthly development snapshot in a few days and we would like folks to do some quick sanity boot testing on their boards. Please grab or update the kernel from git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.38.git, and checkout the linaro-11.05-2.6.38 tag (which happens to be same as master at this moment) and give it a quick spin. Note that this is just the stock Linaro kernel and does not include any binary graphics drivers or other bits provided by Linaro's landing team kernels, so we just need the basic build and boot tested along with some simple testing of devices that can be used w/o extra drivers.
Are we going to track who tested snapshots on what platform?
Otherwise, we may collect little evidence that the snapshot was tested at all, especially if people don't encounter serious problems...
I am tracking it right now and will make sure any issues that come up get documented or linked back to a bug. This is our first time doing this so it is a bit adhoc, in the future we'll have a more formal methodology for tagging, testing, and releasing.
Thanks, ~Deepak
