Speaker
Thorsten Leemhuis
Description
Provide a quick "state of the union" about the Linux kernel regression ecosystem in the first part of the session before spending the second discussing what improvement the members of the audience wish for in this area.
The first part is meant to take less then half of the allotted time and will cover things like:
- KernelCI and regzbot joined forces -- what this means for the future.
- Tracking regressions with regzbot, the regression tracking bot: status and future plans.
- Linux development workflow patters that lead to regressions or delay resolving them.
- Brief "what to do and what not" when reporting regressions.
The second half will be audience driven and might discuss details in the areas raised earlier, things like the following, or whatever the audience is interested it:
- Regression tracking with regzbot still useful in the age of AI?
- How to improve interaction with parties interested in the space of CI, regressions, and tracking them – like kernel maintainers of distros that regularly update their kernels to latest stable or longterm series.
- Is there interest in trees with "pending" and "wip" regression fixes?
In case I'm invited to the kernel maintainers summit I'll also collect topics with regards to regressions the audience wants me to bring up at kernel maintainer summit a few days later.
