Q: Does anyone actually monitor for successful kernel builds at https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline?

Just a simple question: Is there a person responsible for monitoring the kernel builds at: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline ? It is extremely unprofessional of Ubuntu to have failed or incomplete kernel builds staged at the mainline website.

kernel

Isn't this a "service provided by Ubuntu and Canonical"? I had always understood that questions about Canonical products/resources were on topic and are actually explicitly included in askubuntu.com/help/on-topic:

@Zanna you're around, what's your take?

@terdon seems entirely on topic to me

probably better reframed to ask how (if at all) the kernel builds are monitored

terdon

Yeah, me too. It's the kind of thing I would love to make off topic, but that's my hangup and as I have always understood our scope, that is on topic today.

@Zanna Yes, and edited to make it less ranty, sure.

Zanna

I'll try to edit it

terdon

my baby is crying :|

Zanna

terdon

but, but, you already did it!

No fair! Supermom!

Zanna

haha thanks <3 I meant please improve further if possible

terdon

I added:
> If not, what should I do if I find a failed build? How can I know who to ask for more details or an explanation for failed builds?

Just to flesh it out a little.

Zanna

nice :)
