Security updates have been issued by Debian (bluez, intel-microcode, tiff, and xmlbeans), Fedora (openssh and php-phpmailer6), openSUSE (freeradius-server, java-1_8_0-openjdk, live555, openexr, roundcubemail, tor, and tpm2.0-tools), SUSE (bouncycastle and zziplib), and Ubuntu (linux-kvm and thunderbird). | | 6:13p |
[$] Some 5.13 development statistics As expected, the 5.13 development cycle turned out to be a busy one, with 16,030 non-merge changesets being pulled into the mainline over a period of nine weeks. The 5.13
release happened on June 27, meaning that it must be time for our traditional look at the provenance of the code that was merged for this kernel. | | 10:30p |
The first ever KernelCI hackfest The KernelCI continuous-integration project held
its first hackfest recently. Developers from the KernelCI team, Google, and Collabora worked to improve many different aspects of KernelCI testing capabilities. There are plans for more hackfests.
The first-ever KernelCI hackfest was a success. It kicked off the work to enable kernel testing through Chromium OS, a product-specific userspace. Enabling full userspace images and real-world tests like video call simulations adds a lot of complexity to the testing process. However, the benefits are a clear win for the community. They allow a more thorough kernel testing and validation through real application use cases, which can exercise several different kernel areas at the same time in an organized manner. Generally, it is not simple for lower-level kernel test suites like kselftests or LTP to orchestrate a similar use case.
