+kernel testing with Travis
Building CRIU for other platforms on x86_64 is a bit tricky. We use [[Docker build|Docker]] to get a container for a target platform, and qemu-static to run this container. qemu-static doesn't exist in all distributions, so [https://github.com/xemul/criu/blob/master/scripts/build/extract-deb-pkg a script] downloads it from Debian and extracts binaries.

=== Kernel testing ===
In addition to testing CRIU, we use Travis CI to test a few branches of the Linux kernel, to make sure recent changes does not break our precious software. We report found bugs to the kernel, and maintain a list of those bugs at [[Linux-next]].
The process consists of "git clone" the kernel, compiling it, and using kexec to reboot to a new kernel. The catch is we have to use CRIU itself to checkpoint/restore the travis control process, so that the VM is not lost to Travis upon reboot. Please see [https://avagin.github.io/travis-kexec-criu this article] for more details on the process.
To check the recent builds, see https://travis-ci.org/avagin/criu/branches (look for <code>linux-next-daily</code> branch).
