wireless-testing repo

[Arend van Spriel]

Hi John,

We have been using the wireless-testing repo in our nightly testing and 
as such appreciated the on-going support for it. I noticed your 
announcement (and misplaced it) and as I prefer to keep the nightly 
testing will have to do the work over here. Can you provide details on 
what trees are merged into wireless-testing. Is it 
wireless-drivers{,-next} and mac80211{,-next} or is there more to 
consider. If other people still like this tree I can provide it through 
github or so.

Regards,
Arend

I believe it was also the latest rc from Linus.

If you're testing with backports you could also use the latest linux-
next with a restricted backport - I've added mac80211(-next) to that
now.

Indeed.

We have some setups running on wl-testing kernel and some running distro 
kernel using backports.

Yes, latest -rc plus those 4 trees is what I have been pulling for
some time.  I used to include Bluetooth and NFC, but stopped doing
that early this year.

I believe the Bob Copeland is considering taking on this mantle...

"a" Bob Copeland :)

Yeah, I would be game for maintaining this for a while -- I've scripted
a bit of it and have a practice tree over here, although of course it
should be on kernel.org when for reals:

    https://github.com/bcopeland/wireless-testing-testing

But if maintenance becomes a burden there's no reason we couldn't spread
the load.

I think it would be a good idea to have a shared "wireless" directory
for the wireless-testing, similarly like linux-firmware.git has. That
way the location doesn't change if the maintainer changes or if we have
more than one maintainer.

And I can act as a backup for Bob whenever he is too busy or offline.

Sounds good to me.
