NIPA/wifibot disappeared

NIPA/wifibot disappeared

[Johannes Berg]

Hi,

Due to a mistake, the machine that was running our checks was
decommissioned and redeployed about two days ago.

I'd been planning to move the service to the servers that we have at the
netdev foundation for NIPA, but hadn't actually started doing that
because I've just been too busy with other things.

Right now there's very little point in bringing up a new machine in
Intel since that'll also take time, so for now we don't have it until I
can integrate it all with the infrastructure running on the netdev
foundation servers.

Good news :-)

Thanks to Matthieu (who did all the hard work) and the Netdev Foundation
(sponsoring the work and the server time), the bot has been back for
about a day or so, running on Netdev Foundation infrastructure (rather
than an Intel server I had to maintain personally.)

It's on the netdev config, so perhaps a little pickier than it used to
be.

Not sure how it considers -next tree. My patch with subject
"[PATCH rtw-next] wifi: rtl8xxxu: 8723bu: ..." is treated as non-next tree [1].

Could you help to update NIPA configuration? Or should I change to other
proper tree selection of subject prefix?

It looks like NIPA misread "rtw-next" as "rtw" at the step of tree selection.
    wifibot/tree_selection --> Clearly marked for rtw

Currently, we use "rtw" for current fix, and "rtw-next" for -next. However,
"rtw" is substring of "rtw-next". If this isn't a good choice, we can change
"rtw" to "rtw-current" or "rtw-fix".
