wireless-testing repo
Hi John,
We have been using the wireless-testing repo in our nightly testing and as such appreciated the on-going support for it. I noticed your announcement (and misplaced it) and as I prefer to keep the nightly testing will have to do the work over here. Can you provide details on what trees are merged into wireless-testing. Is it wireless-drivers{,-next} and mac80211{,-next} or is there more to consider. If other people still like this tree I can provide it through github or so.
Regards,
Arend

I believe it was also the latest rc from Linus.
If you're testing with backports you could also use the latest linux- next with a restricted backport - I've added mac80211(-next) to that now.

Indeed.

We have some setups running on wl-testing kernel and some running distro kernel using backports.

Yes, latest -rc plus those 4 trees is what I have been pulling for some time. I used to include Bluetooth and NFC, but stopped doing that early this year.

I believe the Bob Copeland is considering taking on this mantle...

"a" Bob Copeland :)
Yeah, I would be game for maintaining this for a while -- I've scripted a bit of it and have a practice tree over here, although of course it should be on kernel.org when for reals:
https://github.com/bcopeland/wireless-testing-testing
But if maintenance becomes a burden there's no reason we couldn't spread the load.

I think it would be a good idea to have a shared "wireless" directory for the wireless-testing, similarly like linux-firmware.git has. That way the location doesn't change if the maintainer changes or if we have more than one maintainer.
And I can act as a backup for Bob whenever he is too busy or offline.

Sounds good to me.
