Re: [PATCH] erofs-utils: fix battach on full buffer block

[胡玮文 <sehuww@mail.scut.edu.cn>]

Hi Xiang,

I would like to. If I understand it correctly, tests should based on
experimental-tests branch, and be submitted to this mail-list, too?

I wonder if we already have some CI service set up to run these tests
automatically? I saw a mail from Travis CI in the mail-list archive, but it
seems I don't have access to that organization.
