=================================================
CI Status

-------------------------------------------------
Intel Lab

* Smoke tests are now enabled and results are being included in the reports
to patch works.  Running about 6 test cases right now.  Check the
patchworks reports for the specific details (showing up as intel-test in
pathworks as the label).  Recommend to add a link to the DTS test plan into
the reports for each of the test cases that are being run.
* Merge coming for pmdinfogen, which will add some additional python
dependencies.  Labs (UNH and Intel) will need to add these into the test
systems / DUTs where necessary: https://patches.dpdk.org/cover/81614/

-------------------------------------------------
Github Actions / Travis CI / OBS

* Github Actions have been running for about 1 month.  Working on
automating the process of checking the output and posting the results to
patchworks.  ETA is probably about 1 to 2 weeks away.
* Planning to keep Travis CI around for now, specifically for the ARM
builds.  Hopefully, the amount of “free execution time” will be enough to
cover the ARM builds.
* OBS, still need a mechanism for timing out branches.  This will get
worked on once the Github Action work is completed.  Will take 2 to 4
weeks, once started.

-------------------------------------------------
UNH-IOL Community Lab

* We are aware of pending patchsets on the dashboard and will be
investigating those today.
* Arm machines are now running compile and unit testing.
** Now focusing on implementing functional and performance testing using
the NICs installed in the machine.
** Broken unit test case: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612
* Mellanox systems are now running functional testing; we are currently
monitoring these results for false negatives.  We need to double check it
sent an updated report to patchworks.
* Feature request: how could maintainer request rerun of jobs, possibly
through the dashboard.
* Implemented a failure alert system to detect false failures quicker.
* Testing failures will now report the last 20 lines of log output, example
is here: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2021-January/174069.html
* Patch for BUG-511 to categorize patches, to allow testing only applicable
components, (i.e. code was a driver change vs a core change).
https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/ci/2020-December/000902.html  Needs to be
reviewed and merged into dpdk-ci.
