Linux-images jenkins and time

Hardware Librem 5
1

Hello there,

I see some nice patches in linux-next https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/commit/943e968dc344b7a5535f299b12b462aaecb60a75

And I see that on my phone just picked up the linux-image version 5.3.0+librem5.7.

I am now curious about the CI/CD jobs that test/build/push the packages. What is the normal flow of this source code to be built/tested/pushed on the repos?

Say if there is no bug found? Can I try out the 5.3.0+librem5.8 quicker?

I might just have found it in pipelines/artifacts hum hum

Nice!! I can’t wait to get this update.

I got the phone on Friday night and got 2 updates straight away.
Yesterday again new update. It is really exiting to get new updates and see how progress is made! :smiley:

It is still in the staging area: https://master.pureos.net/migrations/excuses/amber-phone-staging-to-amber-phone/1 where it will linger for 3 days. You can check using the above link when it will graduate into the proper repository…

It should be possible to include the staging repository into the souces list, but I am not sure how that would be done…
