Releasing 6.1-cip-rt?

Releasing 6.1-cip-rt?

Hi!

I prepared simple merge of 6.1.38-cip1 with 6.1.38-rtrt12, and seems
to pass basic testing.

https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip/tree/ci/pavel/linux-test

If there are reasons not to release this, or extra steps that should
be taken here, let me know.

Best regards,
								Pavel

Do we have "advanced" testing as well, or what do you mean with "basic"?

It should be tested as any other RT release, otherwise I see no reason
to delay this.

Looking at the CI you're running here, builds with RT configurations and the RT tests we support aren't actually being run.
Our pipelines currently look at the name of the branch [0] to determine whether RT builds/tests are run.
Specifically, *linux-6.1.y-cip-rt. So for dev testing with RT you'd need to use a branch like ci/pavel/linux-6.1.y-cip-rt.
If you want to keep using the single ci/pavel/linux-test, we could update the pipelines to also run RT testing on ci/pavel/linux-test, but then they would also run on any non-RT kernels you push.
Alternatively we could add some variables into the .gitlab-ci.yml file to state that RT tests should be run, but we were trying to keep the .gitlab-ci.yml file the same throughout branches.

Kind regards, Chris
