Ah, that makes sense, testing the sum is a good idea. And I want to know that type of result, thanks. I get that type of report from other companies as well, and it's nice to see the testing spread to more, thanks. > > And what are the results of the builds, do you boot them as well?

I would, thanks. Look at how the Linaro results are displayed as an example (maybe a bad one, it's a messy report) about what actually runs and what is testing, to make it a bit more obvious as to what is going on for anyone who might be curious. thanks again for doing this, much appreciated. greg k-h
