I'll second Nicolas' comments.
As a kernel developer and upstream maintainer (and now working for Linaro), it's not at all clear (or documented that I can find) how kernel CI is being structure and implemented nor how it could be useful for kernel developers and especially maintainers (who are *very* interested early notification of build/boot failures for various defconfigs and even non-ARM arch builds.)
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/infrastructure-knowledgebase... but I believe it's now partly outdated.
I use my own jenkins setup for some of my stuff, and scripts for the rest, but it would be ideal to not have to duplicate effort here.
A quick scan of https://ci.linaro.org/jenkins/view/kernel-ci makes me realize there is nothing terribly helpful there (based on reasons Nico already pointed out), but it has peaked my curiosity on the Jenkins changes/plugins being used.
Is there a way for us (linaro folks) to see more of the Jenkins setup for these jobs (including the scripts.) There appears to be some useful add-ons being used. Read-only access to the detailed configuration of the jenkins jobs would be very useful.
You've got access and can even view/modify the set up. I used a multi-configuration project for these jobs. If you have more questions, just ask.
Cheers,
