Re: [gNewSense-users] Which kernel version for KFV?

[Christophe Jarry]

Hi Chris,

I've almost finished writing the KFV_SummaryTable.pl script that parses 
the http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Image table and updates it. I also 
modified the PFV_info.pl script of Markus to have the KPFV_info.pl, 
which can do stats for the PFV (Main and Universe - by Markus) and for 
the KFV (after having updated the table at 
http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Image with the KFV_SummaryTable.pl script).

 The KFV_SummaryTable.pl is still lacking a 'non-free software 
reported' column completion, as I don't know how to decide what to write 
in it.

Results can be seen on http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Kernel/Image, remember 
this is just a preview and should not be trusted until we decide which 
version of the kernel we have to check. Then, we'll have to update all 
the links and pages relative to KFV, and, at this moment, the scripts 
output will be reliable.

I think that when the kernel version to check will be chosen, we 
shouldn't change the link anymore until KFV is complete. This way, all 
checkers will check the same version of the kernel. After the KFV, we'll 
have to write a script to compare the differences between the one we 
checked and the latest version in hardy.

Don't hesitate to send me your comments and modifications if any,

Thanks,

Christophe
