An overview of the backport automation and validation done on CentOS Stream kernel merge requests:
- what gets automatically backported?
- what checks are run?
- how do these changes end up in CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
We’ll walk through the building blocks that help ensure CentOS Stream (and by extension, Red Hat Enterprise Linux) kernels are ready for use on your mission-critical systems.
- CVE assignment automation and commit identification tooling that parses linux-cve-announce and updates relevant Jira issues
- Webhooks that react to Jira issue updates, and trigger automated backport attempts
- Scripted submission of GitLab merge requests for successful automated backports
- Build and test pipelines that run on merge request creation and code updates
- Webhooks that react to merge request creation and updates to run various sanity checks
