We (OSDL + others) are working on a continuous build/test system, using the Mozilla tinderbox. Should be available RSN. Tinderbox supports multiple clients, and we'll have a client package available for download. Marco, if you could supply time on a small client box, and a desired .config, we can add you as a Tinderbox client, then you have a place to point people when the size increases. Either way, please send me your desired .config - i can and should build a size test into the tinderclient code. cliffw > > M. > > - > 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/ >
