I have a specific monitoring for kernel bumps and d-i daily build
failures indeed. I almost was trigger-happy as well, but refrained from
doing so when I noticed some FTBFSes; which made it curious to get
notified about d-i daily build failures a few hours after that. ;)

Indeed, all green so far.

I only remember one particular time (without any references whatsoever
because I'm not a memory guy) where we had to wait for a few iterations
since build failures were getting fixed… and other discovered, so it
took a few days, maybe weeks.


Anyway, back to the topic: Great, let's keep current practice. Of
course, it totally makes sense to jump the gun in some cases. What I
initially thought was that arm* folks were interested in recent fixes in
latest linux (this seems usual because well arm*…), and it seemed odd to
bump the version to depend on a linux version… that wasn't built. :)

I agree with you (unless there's one arch which takes a long time to
get fixed).

Sorry, I was a little bit trigger happy yesterday.  I thought breaking
some builds for a day or two wouldn't be a big problem, but I guess
you're the one receiving all the build errors. ;-)

Anyway, I agree with your policy.  Ben made a new linux upload so
hopefully all architectures will be there later today.

commit "Bump Linux kernel version from 4.3.0-1 to 4.4.0-1"

2016-02-19 Thread Cyril Brulebois
Hi,

I'm not sure how much we want to speed up syncing build/config/common
with whatever new ABI linux is uploaded with. As far as testing the
new kernel, that might looks like a good idea; but I'm not sure it
really helps if it triggers daily build failures because the linux
kernel is obviously missing builds (be it because mips* are slow, or
because arm* have FTBFSed).

Until now I've been waiting for linux to be built everywhere to flip
the switch. I'm fine with revisiting how we do things but I think it
should be discussed somehow.

Mraw,
KiBi.
