Every -mm release is built with allmodconfig on x86 and on x86_64. > It's also cross-compiled on fat configs for alpha, ppc32, ppc64, sparc64, > arm and ia64. It's booted on x86, x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Every release. What fud? I stand by my claim - I have tried to do the same thing for -mm and found that I didn't have guts for that; too much work. For mainline I do cross-builds for allmodconfig on a *lot* more targets than what you've mentioned and generally it stays within ~150-200Kb of patches, about half of that being a fix for 8390 mess. _IF_ somebody wants to do that for -mm, yell and you are more than welcome to all infrastructure, except for the cycles on build box I'm using. Incidentally, it is a box at work - my energy bill is high enough as it is, without adding an 8-way 3GHz iamd64 to it... The last time I've attempted that for -mm was this summer; right now mainline is quite enough work, TYVM... Especially since I use the same tree as a staging point for annotations and watch for build regressions both for gcc and sparse. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
