You might want to use the "speedy" option; see [testsuite.py](testsuite.py). +The test suite might fail for a few configurations for kernels older than April 2006, +when a fix was added to Kconfig that's also mirrored in Kconfiglib (see 35ea8d5). +This is harmless, and only counts as a fail since the test suite compares literal +output from the kconfig version that's bundled with the kernel. + Kconfiglib is much faster than the test suite would indicate. Most of the time is spent waiting around for `make` or the C utilities. Adding some multiprocessing to the test suite would make sense. |
