Hello Alexander,
Oops! I am sorry if I have misunderstood the BP https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-ci/+spec/improve-hwpack-names. If we check the Acceptance criteria, it says
"Acceptance: The new name of hwpack generated by the linaro-hwpack-replace contains the defconfig information."
If we need to change the path of where the hwpack are stored and not the hwpack names then we need not have to change anything in the linaro-hwpack-replace. In that case we would need to rewrite the BP with appropriate items.

The hwpack name does not include any defconfig related information,
which
was used to build the kernel. Do we need to use the defconfig name as well to be part of the hwpack
name ?
Is there any other information you would like to include in the hwpack
name
? Or do we need to continue with the current hwpack names ?
We rarely use a defconfig alone; however in the case of kernel .debs, you should find the corresponding config under boot/config-`uname -r` in the .deb (dpkg-deb -x the kernel .deb to find the config).
(note that in the case of kernel CI we currently use pure defconfig configurations)
What I asked deepti to work on is to make the CI hwpacks exported through http://ci.linaro.org/kernel_hwpack/ to be better backtrack-able to the actual CI job they are coming from.
Instead of exploding the hwpack name with more info, we could also introduce a new directory level in the kernel_hwpack directory like:
kernel_hwpack/ci_job_name/HWPACK1,2,3
... and then leave the hwpack names as they are now. Maybe improve the version to rather use the git describe version of the kernel tree and not the kind of meaningless timestamp.
