Re: Kernelci Job Start Delays

["Gustavo Padovan" <gus@collabora.com>]

Hi Joseph,

I am glad that you reached out. It seems you are pointing out yet another aging sign of our legacy system. For broad context on that, check our recent blog post[1].

The best way of solving your issues would be to move your testing to the new system. The best plan for the legacy system right now is to shut it down in the coming months. As we said in the blog post, we are starting small in number of tests and scaling it step by step, but always with community engagement to evaluate the results. If you want to come on board with the rt testing, we would be happy to start a plan to make that happen.

Let me know if that is an avenue you would like to explore. If yes, I'd be interested in knowing which tests you are running.

Best,

- Gus
