* Luca has been added as a DTS maintainer, taking Paul’s place ===================================================================== CI Status --------------------------------------------------------------------- AWS Lab * None UNH-IOL Community Lab * The Community Lab will have downtime for a few hours on Tuesday August 12, for system upgrades * Pw-ci: Aaron visited the lab last week and was curious about whether the Community Lab can leverage the pw-ci project, which handles patch polling, patch apply, etc. * UNH guys to look at standing this up side by side with our existing backend to evaluate its usefulness * <a href="https://github.com/ovsrobot/pw-ci">https://github.com/ovsrobot/pw-ci</a> * Had an infra failure on the ARM Grace server this week, and put in reruns from August 4 - August 6 to correct this. * Has been stable otherwise. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Lab * There were some build failures from Intel CI from the docs build for DTS, which should be fixed with this patch which removes autodoc_pydantic from the build: <a

Nothing otherwise --------------------------------------------------------------------- Github Actions Robot * Started integration of pull request for Sourcery AI analysis. * This is inadvertently causing testing to run 2x because the extra PR for Sourcery is being picked up by testing * Will have to decide which repo for the pull requests to live in, but it can either be the DPDK repo or ovsrobot repo * Will publish the pull request link in the checkpatch email, so people can click it and look at the AI bot’s comments * If the bot feedback/comments prove useful, then we can look at setting up a system for sending the bot comments as mails on the mailing list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Loongson Lab * None
