#GregKH posted that he been interviewed about the #Linux #development and should be something we all take time and listen to newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-linux-...

A screenshot of a post by Greg Kroah-Hartman at Mastodon, he wrote:
Fun, but long, interview with me about how the Linux development process works was just released: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/how-linux-is-built-with-greg-kroah

It's not all boring, I talk about Rust and our lack of project managers (both good things IMO) so there's lots for people to be grumpy about if you are so inclined.

Yesterday, I stumbled across an interesting blog article from the great gregkh pointing me to kcbench, a tool for benchmarking by measuring parallel #linux kernel compilations.
While my machine at work is a good average workstation with about 22 kernel builds per hour, I got curious about the performance of my #pinebook
(aarch64, 4xCortex-A53, 2GB RAM, eMMC): have a look at the screenshot.

#gregkh's blog entry ("Fast kernel builds"): kroah.com/log/blog/2020/09/18/
#kcbench: gitlab.com/knurd42/kcbench

'kcbench' run on a pinebook (aarch64, 4xCortex-A53, 2GB RAM, eMMC): up to 0.59 kernel builds per hour
