Testing with Github Actions

Testing with Github Actions

[Michael Ellerman]

Hi all,

I've setup automated builds + qemu boot tests using Github Actions.

You can see the results here:

  https://github.com/linuxppc/linux-ci/actions


You can use it for testing your own patches before submitting them by
doing the following:

  - Fork the linuxppc/linux-ci repo on github. (Note not the main linux repository)
  - Enable GitHub Actions for your forked repository
  - Add your work on top of the merge branch (or create a branch based on merge)
  - Push to your fork of linux-ci on GitHub
  - Results should appear in the Actions tab of your repository


Using it is entirely optional, I know not everyone likes to use Github.

But if you're sending a significant number of powerpc patches then
testing them before submission using this setup can save us all some
time :)

If you have any problems or questions let me know.

cheers
