You probably want to follow linux stable x5.4.y and not just the initial 5.4 release?
I wonder about the efficiency of this. I looks like actions/checkout does a shallow clone, so at least that isn't cloning the whole linux repo. The other option would be to install the kernel-devel ubuntu equivalent and compile against that. However, that would be whatever ubuntu is shipping. Maybe 5.4 to match OpenXT is better.

I'm not sure you can clone a non-github repo using the repository directive, and I think the stable-5.4.y is off of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
Yea I think explicitly matching the openxt kernel version is a good idea.

As @crogers1 states, I do not believe I can pull an external repository. I can look into it to see.
As for building against Ubuntu, the purpose was to validate that the driver builds against a vanilla kernel and I selected the version for which OpenXT is currently using. It is possible to add additional tasks that build against other trees.

Little different syntax than the Gitlab yaml that I'm familiar with, but this looks good to me.

For stable, there is https://github.com/gregkh/linux/tree/linux-5.4.y , but it isn't totally up to date. |
