Could OBS be used somehow (kernel build at my PC takes several hours)?
OBS can not really be used for this IMHO (or it would take considerable effort to implement this). And OBS also takes hours to build a kernel RPM, so you won't gain much after all. I use ccache for kernel bisection and in general, the nearer you come to the end of bisection, the faster it compiles (less changed files).
For a kernel bisection, it can also be beneficial to first disable all the device drivers you don't need. It will take you a few minutes before starting the first build, but will save you a lot more than that for each subsequent build. Everything that can be disabled at the menu level is very profitable to disable: MTD, Parallel Port, NVMe, RAID/LVM, SPI, Hardware Monitoring, Watchdog Timer, Multimedia, Sound, Ultra Wideband, MMC, LED, EDAC, Userspace I/O, Virtualization, Staging Drivers, PWM, Thunderbolt, NVDIMM... As long as you know your system boots without them and it's not what you are bisecting, of course. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
