Description Trevor Gamblin 2023-10-27 11:45:52 UTC 
core-image-patchtest is currently started every 15 minutes and operates on the entire set of series detected since the last test run. This works but can cause the image to run past the 15m time limit, and is also a potential security issue if one or more of those series introduces bad code. Instead, the automation script should be improved so that it boots once per series and only tests that series before shutting down and moving to the next one.
