What

The Ubuntu Kernel Team have developed (and are continuing to develop) a number of scripts, utilities and processes to help them do all the things they do.

Some of the things in kteam-tools:

• Scripts that are used to perform kernel builds on remote systems.
• Scripts to setup jailed kernel compilation environments (chroots). This allows a single host to build kernels for different Ubuntu releases.
• Scripts and support files to produce daily, custom test isos from the daily, master, Ubuntu isos.
• Scripts used for general / stable kernel maintenance.
• Scripts to produce .debs for mainline kernels

Where

kteam-tools are managed via git in a git repository on the Ubuntu kernel git repository server. A copy of the repository can be obtained via:

git clone https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel/+git/kteam-tools

Configuring

In order to use some of the maintainer's scripts (in the maintscripts directory) you'll need to copy the file maintscripts/doc/example-maintscripts.cfg to $HOME/.maintscripts.cfg, and edit it so that you are in the 'signer' line.

If you add your own name to this configuration file, please change it in the kteam-tools tree and push it back to the repo on zinc
