In the linux model that's left to the distributions. In fact doing it properly takes months. You wouldn't want to wait months for a new mainline kernel. Formal testing is not really compatible with "release early, release often" You could do things like "run LTP first", but in practice LTP rarely finds bugs. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
