Well, after spending the last few months studying and contributing to kworkflow as part of Google Summer of Code 2024 under the Linux Foundation, it’s time to catalog all the contributions made during this period. I can confidently say that…
The kw build command is a versatile tool that encompasses everything related to building and managing Linux kernel images. It supports various options, such as displaying build information, invoking kernel menuconfig, enabling ccache, adjus…
kw-ssh is a feature in kworkflow that simplifies remote access to machines via SSH. It allows you to execute commands or bash scripts on a remote machine easily. Additionally, this feature supports file and directory transfer between local
Integration tests are designed to verify that different modules of a system work together as expected. They ensure that the interaction between components occurs seamlessly and that the system functions correctly as a whole. Originally, shU…
In the final moments of the MiniDebconf in Belo Horizonte that I attended back in April, as I was heading to the airport to go back home, a notification popped up on my phone: I had been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2024. It was a su…
In my GSoC23 project, I had to understand the ins and outs of the lore API. By its API, I specifically mean the way requests to https://lore.kernel.org are responded, in other words, the syntax and semantics of requesting data stored in the…
My GSoC23 journey, which I introduced in a previous post, is almost over. It really doesn’t feel like 16 weeks have passed, but I can say that, in this period, I have learned a lot and grown as a developer. My proposal was to develop a feat…
My GSoC23 project (which I talked about in a previous post) is about implementing a feature in kw that serves as a hub for the public mailing lists archived on https://lore.kernel.org, with a focus on patch-reviewing. The feature is called
Around May, I had the opportunity of helping to introduce a Database Management System (DBMS) to a project that used a file-based database. The DBMS was SQLite3 and the project was kw. This post describes my experience. In a quick Google se…
Being a somewhat new user of Zsh - made the transition from Bash around 2 months ago - I never thought I would have to learn about its completion system or how to write my own custom completion functions so soon. As of writing, I’m almost a…
I usually have my dev system and a test machine to validate my changes for developing to the Linux kernel. I also keep my config files and use them every time for my test systems. Nevertheless, I recently had to get a different test system
Since January, I have been refactoring and improving the deploy code in order to make it easy to add other platforms. Introducing Raspberry Pi support was a great study case to find the weak points in the deploy and make it more generic. As…
