Comment on Monitoring the kernel.org Transparency Log for a yearparent

Comments

The kernel.org transparency log is a git repository maintained by Konstantin Ryabitsev.

What I did, and the post describes, is a monitor for this log. It also doubles as a verifier which can check if all commits in a kernel release is actually present on the log.

Could it also be used to check whether all security related patches have actually been added to a kernel source tree? For example flag which commits are missing when cherry picking patches into a particular kernel release ...

Not really. We don't have any contextual information around the patches so that would be hard to infer.
