<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Here is information about programs used in the CELF Open Test Lab:<br />

== Programs ==<br />
* 'target' is a program to build software and control a target board from a host machine<br />
** 'target' is described at [[Target Program Usage Guide]], and is downloable from that page.<br />
* a sample test which uses 'target' is available, downloadable here: [[Media:preset-test.py]]<br />
* some lab software may eventually find its way to the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/otl-progs/ otl-progs project] on SourceForge.net.<br />

== Ideas ==<br />
=== Using git bisect to find the offending patch ===<br />
At the 2005 Linux Kernel Summit, when Tim presented the idea of providing size<br />
regression data to the kernel developers, Linus recommended that the individual<br />
that caused the regression be identified by the automated test.<br />
<br />
Here's how Linus described how to use "git bisect" to find a broken patch.<br />
(from LKML, 9/20/2005)<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
It is. Just get the "id" file that is associated with a snapshot, and it<br />
<br />
gives the git commit ID for that state.<br />
<br />
So for example, the 2.6.14-rc1-git3 snapshot is associated with the ID <br />
file patch-2.6.14-rc1-git3.id, which contains <br />
<br />
v2.6/snapshots(0)$ cat patch-2.6.14-rc1-git3.id<br />
065d9cac98a5406ecd5a1368f8fd38f55739dee9<br />
<br />
so once you know that something broke between rc1-git3 and rc1-git4, you<br />
<br />
can now do<br />
<br />
git bisect start<br />
git bisect good 065d9cac98a5406ecd5a1368f8fd38f55739dee9<br />
git bisect bad bc5e8fdfc622b03acf5ac974a1b8b26da6511c99<br />
<br />
and off you go..<br />
