Because -mm is the development tree. The things in -mm are what's eventually going to end up in mainline, so that's what you want to be testing and fixing, and it's also further ahead than 2.6.12.3 (which is esentially a dead branch except for critical fixes) so stuff may already have been fixed there that was broken in 2.6.12.3 > > > >And doing the compilations is really the trivial part of the work, the > Got to start somewhere :) > Right you are, and I for one am glad you do it. I build randconfig kernels myself to look for trouble spots, but I can't get anywhere near building 200+ configs. On a good day I may build 5 or 6 randconfigs of the latest kernel inbetween doing other things, so getting hold of the results of several hundred randconfig builds gives me a lot of material to work on that I would never have the time to gather myself.
