I think we should have batteries of test cases of each component before it sees a release, e.g. we should have a kernel build + run test before releasing a new toolchain, and a kernel run test before releasing a new QEMU, but this needs not be based on crack of the day. It's sufficient to build / run the latest released kernel for these tests rather than a git kernel. In the same way, I don't think we need to build kernels out of bzr toolchains; the latest released toolchain would be good. We should get sufficient cross-testing via continuous integration of our releases in our development platforms (aka package repositories, like maverick or maverick+1). It's entirely possible to do as you say, but I think it's basically testing too many things at once resulting in unstable x unstable x unstable combination, rather than stable x stable x unstable where we can blame changes quickly. -- Loïc Minier _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
