#637 Kernel 5.8 test week
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by sumantrom. Opened 4 years ago by jforbes.

Owner: Justin Forbes
Time Frame: 17th Jun to 21st Aug
Features: Kernel 5.8 rebase

As discussed at Flock, we will start hosting test days for each major kernel rebase (approximately every 8-10 weeks). It was discussed that we should extend this to a test week, to allow time for more participants. They have been incredibly helpful so far. As the 5.8 kernel is now released, I would like to get a test week in before we push the rebase to stable releases. I will have ISOs for USB images so that users can test on bare metal or in VMs, and the kernel will be available in the stabilization repo for users who wish to install it on existing systems.
