And pc-0.10 and pc-0.11, too. Ironically I have been using the Gumstix machines quite a lot for the SD 'subsystem' refactor, using the MMC commands in U-Boot (I am unable to reach the Linux userland since the kernel crashes), and plan to add SD integration tests via Avocado. This raises: - What will happens if I add tests downloading running on their compiled u-boot (https://downloads.gumstix.com/images/angstrom/developer/2012-01-22-1750/= u-boot.bin) and the company decides to remove this old directory? Since sometimes old open-source software are hard to rebuild with recent compilers, should we consider to use a public storage to keep open-source (signed) blobs we can use for integration testing? Avocado has a 'vmimage library' which could be extended, adding support for binary url + detached gpg signatures from some QEMU maintainers? (I am also using old Gentoo/Debian packaged HPPA/Alpha Linux kernel for Avocado SuperIO tests, which aren't guaranteed to stay downloadable forever). - Maybe I have to volunteer to update the Gumstix section from Orphan 'Odd Fixes' to keep those tests. > Do you have some spare time to respin your patch series? I'll make some.
