[Qemu-devel] Status and RFC of patchew testings on QEMU

[Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>]

Hi all,

Today I've included a fourth type of the automatic patchew replies: FreeBSD.

So far we have these tests running by patchew on each patch series:

  * Docker tests
    Basically it is
        make docker-test-quick@centos6 \
             docker-test-build@min-glib \
             docker-test-mingw@fedora"

  * checkpatch.pl
    Each patch is fed to ./scripts/checkpatch.pl and all errors are reported.

  * s390x
    It runs on a machine shared by Fedora team, basically only "./configure and
    make", because "make check" hanging is tricky to deal with from an
    automation perspective. (Ideas?)

  * FreeBSD
    Like s390x.

Q1: In the worst case, you get four individual auto replies from patchew. Is
that too many? Do you prefer one reply with all the results concatenated into
one?

Q2: Some think the full log in the mail body is more than necessary. Is it
better or worse if it is a "tail -n 200" of the log in the body and the full log
attached?

Q3: What other tests do maintainers want? Different hosts? Different configure
combinations?

Q4: Any other improvements/features you want? (E.g. some documentation? :)
