[KJ] Automating kernel regression detection

[KJ] Automating kernel regression detection

Hi 

   I was hoping I could get some members of this community to take
a look at a project which identifies which kernel patch, in a set of 
patches
introduces a regression into the source tree, and provide feedback to
the team developing the tool.

The tool is called PyReT and can be found at http://pyret.sf.net

Feedback can be provided directly to the project team via their
mailing list.

thanks for your time
  -James

How is this different from 'git bisect'?

thanks,

my first impression is your project is a big design document with a big 
architecture searching for use cases...

There are already people doing regular LTP runs, there are people doing 
regular compile tests, and much more.

The big problem with kernel bugs is the manual work for debugging them, 
not the few steps required with the existing tools to bisect patches or 
git trees.
