Re: [Lava-devel] [Lava-users] device type alias redesign

There is an idea of device type 'alias' in LAVA. I don't quite understand what the use case for the current implementation was [1]. I tried using it but it wasn't very useful. My use case is that I need to submit jobs to a device type with different device type name. This is used to align device type naming between different labs in a bigger project (kernelci.org in this case). So the questions I have about current implementation:

• is there anyone using current implementation?
• if current implementation is used, how much trouble would it cause

to change the behaviour?

No kernelCI labs are using it (at least for kernelCI related jobs.)

I looked into it for the same reasons you are, and found the current implementation neither intuitive or useful.
