[coreboot] HEADS UP: Bug in automatic testing on gerrit/jenkins

[Patrick Georgi]

Hi all,

today I noticed that our test builders at http://qa.coreboot.org/
weren't actually testing the commits that are pending review on
http://review.coreboot.org/ as they were asked to, but (most of the
time) a commit from early-June.

We fixed the issue (Jenkins, the tool that orchestrates
qa.coreboot.org, dropped some configuration value during an update
that we needed to set again), but unfortunately some commits sneaked
in that broke the tree.

Fixes for these bugs are in, but when pushing changes for code review,
the builders may still report errors that are unrelated to your
change. See http://qa.coreboot.org/job/coreboot-gerrit/27371/ for an
example.

That's because the builders use exactly the commit you pushed, without
applying any new changes to it. If you run into that situation, please
rebase your commits to the current master, since (as of a couple of
minutes ago) it includes the bug fixes.

$ git pull
$ git rebase master $your_local_branch
$ git push (as usual)


Sorry for the inconvenience,
Patrick
