Description Martin J. Bligh 2007-09-27 09:29:17 UTC

akpm and Rafael both seem to want to change the regression tracking option from a straight checkbox to a dropdown by major kernel version ;-(

Though I'm not keen on this, allegedly it'll make Linus et al happy.

Is it possible to change it from a checkbox to a fixed dropdown with "2.6.0", "2.6.1" .... "2.6.99", etc?

Sorry, I know you spend a while fixing it up to be a checkbox ;-(

So it would display one long list of all the versions from 0 to 99?  That is a mighty big dropdown list.  And in the future when we get past 99 how do we handle that, just keep adding more versions?
Would you need to select more then one item from the list?

Yeah ;-( I suppose until 2.6.50 would keep us going for a while.

Guess so. I don't see any other way to do it really -free text field
would suck - even if we checked it afterwards, is just awkward to use.

Nope, just the one.
