Description
While kernelci.org as a project is dedicated to testing the
upstream Linux kernel, the same KernelCI software may be reused
for alternative purposes. One typical example is distribution
kernels, which often track a stable branch but also carry some
extra patches and a specific configuration. Aside from covering
a particular downstream branch, having a separate KernelCI
instance also makes it possible to add specific tests that cover
user-space functionality.
A key aspect of KernelCI however is that the moving part remains
the kernel revision. It is in theory possible to cover a full OS
image with moving parts in user-space too, but that is not
something it was originally designed for - hence an interesting
subject for discussion.
