Comment 16 for bug 2042090

@Robie,

The proposed patches, binaries are first included in intermediate PPAs meant for oem integration since the day it's confirmed effective for the issue, and then SRU process proceeds to ensure these changes will be included in targeted milestones. That is, while -proposed packages for different source packages, e.g. kernel and firmware-sof here, may not arrive at the same time for testing, we're still able to verify them separately against existing intermediate PPAs. With the last jigsaw in position, people may then test all necessary components as a whole. So, yes, they were verified as an integrated set with all proposed parts installed.

HWE kernels are based on the corresponding -generic kernel. Once the kernel fixes are in -generic, HWE kernels will rebase onto them and receive the same fixes as well. OEM-6.5 is also based on generic-6.5 (linux/mantic), but usually with a tie schedule and we may like to land it on oem-6.5 first and release early. It will also rebase onto linux/mantic in the next cycle, and oem-6.5 will no longer carry the fixes itself but from linux/mantic instead.
