I second that. 0-day is an amazing tool, but relying on it requires developers to trust that the tool will perform its job as expected. A proper understanding of the logic behind patch/git tree selection would be very valuable, as well as how the build bot handles its 500+ kernel configurations. Even though 0-day is an external tool, maybe it deserves an entry in Documentation/ ? A public web page hosting the list of all git registered git trees could be useful too. > Pls check if the mailing list is still subscribed.
