This is much more "automated" than my failed attempt with dapper's kernel :) These kernels will serve several purposes: 1. To enable better results from IBM's ABAT suite (more details on this later). 2. To enable users to help identify more precise points of regressions during edgy development. The second is further enhanced by the versioning used in the daily builds. The kernels are versioned uniquely using this scheme: linux-image-2.6.17-ABI-ID-FLAVOUR Where ABI is the current ABI (e.g. 2), ID is the concatenation of the first and last three digits of the GIT SHA that the kernel was built from (e.g. 891ac3), and FLAVOUR is our normal naming such as 386, 686, etc. The hope is that if a user suddenly finds something broken, they can go back through these daily builds, find the two kernels where "one works and one doesn't" and thus enable the kernel developers to get a better idea of what changes could have caused the regression. Now for the URL: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bcollins/kernels-daily/ It contains subdirectories in the format of %d-%m-%Y/$arch. If two consecutive days contain kernels with the same ID, then nothing changed. If a day is missing, most likely nothing changed. Currently I am only autobuilding amd64, i386 and powerpc. No, these are not setup for APT, and never will be. The reason being that I always want people making an effort to use these kernels, not get/install/forgot them like they would a normal kernel. You should not be following these kernels like a development cycle, but instead use them for specific testing/debug reasons. -- Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu.com/ Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ SwissDisk - http://www.swissdisk.com/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
