Follow upstream movement
Track releases and dependency changes across Linux networking and appliance-build repositories.
CHANGE PATH
01 / 03From upstream shift to maintainer review.
A clear path from the change to the proposed fix.
- 01
Release or dependency change
An upstream update reaches a watched repository.
- 02
Project-configured build checks
The project’s own checks run against the change.
- 03
Failure report and proposed fix
Maintainers receive a breakage report and can review the suggested change.
WHY UPSTREAM TERN
Less chasing. Earlier signal.
Upstream changes are part of maintaining Linux software. The hard part is finding the build regression and preparing a useful next step before it becomes maintainer work.
Run each project’s checks
Build checks are configured for the project, so each upstream change is tested against its own build requirements.
Make failures reviewable
When a change breaks a build, get a failure report and a proposed fix for maintainers to review.
A MAINTAINER-FIRST HANDOFF
Automate the chase. Keep the review with maintainers.
When an upstream or dependency change breaks a configured build, Upstream Tern reports the failure and opens a proposed fix for maintainers to review.
The goal is a faster, clearer handoff: see what changed, know which build check surfaced the breakage, and review a proposed next step.
START WITH THE REPOSITORIES
Make upstream change easier to catch.
Share the Linux networking or appliance-build repositories you maintain, and start a conversation about the checks they need.
