Mitigating kernel development bottlenecks and supporting the GNU/Linux ecosystem with kworkflow
summary
kworkflow (kw) is a Developer Automation Workflow System that automates common Linux kernel development tasks such as bringing up VMs (kw vm --up), fetching distro/arch .config files across a network (kw kernel-config-manager --fetch), configuring build options and cross-compiling (kw config; kw build), and deploying custom kernels and modules (kw deploy). It also includes a TUI for inspecting and manipulating patches from mailing lists and aims to reduce developer bottlenecks by providing a unified interface and enforcing best practices; the talk introduces kw’s key features and solicits Debian community feedback.
