Each build/test run can be clicked on to get more details. 12:10:43 <patersonc> e.g. https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree/cip/linux-5.10.y-cip-rt/3b7760683935418d3cb432901da8dea50e970a29?i=60 12:10:52 <patersonc> The kci-dev tool can also pull the same information 12:11:50 <pave1> patersonc: We can test kernels before release; we don't need new branches for that, something like https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree?i=7&ts=cip would work, provided it provides useful information. 12:12:18 <patersonc> So what information is currently missing? We can feed this back 12:12:31 <pave1> patersonc: So what we currently have there is ... 6 build tests? 12:12:45 <pave1> patersonc: linux-5.10.y-cip-rt -- 6 build tests? 12:13:20 <pave1> patersonc: https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree?i=7&ts=cip -- showing all the -cip branches would be good first step. 12:13:42 <patersonc> Yes 6. 2 per arch using the cip merged config, one set with and one without RT configs 12:14:23 <patersonc> Increase the interval beyond the last 7 days, e.g 30: https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree?i=30&ts=cip 12:14:43 <patersonc> arisut: Didn't there use to be field to select the interval in the GUI? 12:15:08 <pave1> patersonc: And no runtime tests? I see stable-rc having 7000+ tests, 500 of them failing. Well, that's not too useful, either :-(. 12:15:33 <patersonc> Click the "tests" tab to see the tests 12:16:05 <patersonc> And the "boots" tab to see boots 12:16:51 <pave1> With 30 days, that looks more useful. Not too many tests there. 12:17:02 <pave1> So what do we do, simply look there before announcing a release? 12:17:36 <patersonc> Like the gitlab pipelines, we mainly cover boot tests atm ("boots"), and RT. I'm working on LTP and kselftest support. 12:19:14 <pave1> I see no tests at all for 4.19-cip-rt, for example, but as long as there's no red, I guess I'm okay. 12:19:33 <pave1> So what do we need to do? Take a look at the dashboard before announcing a release to see there's no red? 12:20:50 <patersonc> Yea something went wrong with that 4.19-rt pipeline 12:21:01 <patersonc> It makes sense to check the dashboard 12:21:30 <patersonc> Obviously it takes time to pick up the latest code and run the pipeline though. So depends on timing of the tag push vs when the release needs to be made 12:21:47 <pave1> It takes hour or a day? 12:22:02 <pave1> (And is there way to tell it is done?) 12:22:41 <patersonc> I'm not sure the dashboard shows it. Can probably work it out using the api 12:24:21 <pave1> Hmm :-) 12:24:22 <iwamatsu> Is there an email notification for that now? 12:24:28 <iwamatsu> api only? 12:25:13 <patersonc> There is, but I think the CIP mailing list ends up blocking it because all emails are blocked by default unless a sender is subscribed to the list 12:25:24 <patersonc> I'll investigate 12:25:36 <pave1> The webpage is strange, I wanted to bookmark version with i=30, and apparently that can't be done. 12:25:47 <pave1> Please don't spam the list. Or us. 12:26:14 <pave1> Perhaps the dashboard should show "testing done"? Or how is it supposed to be useful without that? 12:26:17 <iwamatsu> I see. 12:26:44 <patersonc> i=30 gets removed from the URL because it's the default 12:27:23 <pave1> patersonc: Except that it is not. Apparently i=7 is the default. 12:27:57 <pave1> i=60 version can be bookmarked, I guess that's good enough. 12:28:13 <pave1> Which points to https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree/cip/linux-4.4.y-cip/c67c23ae791bfc624c927c9d9f02fe2c76a891b8?df%7Cts%7CFAIL=true&i=60&p=t failure. Should it be investigated? 12:28:34 <patersonc> oh very interesting. If you go to https://dashboard.kernelci.org/ the default is 7. If you go to https://dashboard.kernelci.org/tree it's 30 12:28:44 <patersonc> I'll report it :P 12:28:56 <pave1> Thanks! 12:29:48 <pave1> Anything more on testing? 12:30:40 <pave1> 3 12:30:41 <pave1> 2 12:30:42 <pave1> 1 12:30:49 <pave1> #topic AOB 12:31:28 <pave1> I got spam from hpe. If someone knows what is going on there or has a working contact, I'd like to know. 12:32:38 <pave1> Anything else? 12:32:41 <iwamatsu> I have received that email.;-) 12:33:08 <pave1> As far as I can see, they are not part of -cip. 12:33:28 <pave1> And sending email from noreply address, with no way to unsubscribe, is pretty rude (and illegal). 12:34:25 <pave1> Perhaps it will not happen again. 12:34:26 <pave1> 5 12:34:27 <pave1> 4 12:34:28 <pave1> 3 12:34:29 <pave1> 2 12:34:30 <pave1> 1 12:34:36 <pave1> #endmeeting
