Hi, I think the Tracker[1] advanced to level that it could be actually useful and working, so I want to provide a little how to start using it ;-)
So first, you need to install the 'client' app: $ gem install tracker-client Now, if you don't have tracker account and you want one, please send me an private email (mfoj...@redhat.com). Note, that having username/password is not mandatory to just download patches or viewing what is going on, or what patches are pending review. The user account is needed if you want to actually record the new patches or update patch state. The tracker configuration is stored in ~/.trackerrc so: $ wget https://raw.github.com/mifo/tracker/master/config/trackerrc.example \ -O $HOME/.trackerrc (Update your credentials in that file if you have them ;-) Let say, you finished work on something and you want to record your patches. This can be done by this command: $ tracker publish (You must be in the GIT repository and the branch you want to record must be the current active branch). After this, your patches are recorded and should appear on http://tracker.deltacloud.org. Now, the other person want to download your patches. Let say your patches are recorded into set with id XYZ. Then the person just do: $ tracker download XYZ -b reviews/patches Tracker will now create a new branch named 'reviews/patches' and download && apply all patches in the set N to that branch in correct order. After you test that patches, and you want to ACK or NACK them, then you just need to execute in that same branch: $ tracker ack -m "Message" Thats all ;-) If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask me on IRC or here ;-) Also note that using tracker is not 'required', we still do review using mailing list as we did before. This app should be just a little helper that keep us updated about what patches are on list or what patches are pending review.
