Hey guys, We've been having various people test the new git-review tool for a while now, and believe that it is ready for prime time as a replacement for the git review alias and tools/rfc.sh. We've also sent an email to our fine friends at glusterfs (from whom we got rfc.sh in the first place) and at gerrit to announce the tool to them.
We're going to start a phased approach of rolling this out. Phase 1 - Get everyone to install git-review. Phase 2 - Add a deprecation warning message to tools/rfc.sh to catch stragglers. Phase 3 - Remove tools/rfc.sh from the repos. The only phase there that you need to really worry with is Phase 1 - because that's the one in which you install the tool. It's really quite easy. It works like this: 'sudo pip install git-review' And just go on about your day. When you run 'git review' to submit changes to gerrit, the git-review program will take precedence and do all of the appropriate things. There is a README file at https://github.com/openstack-ci/git-review with more information for those who care. However, notable features which were lacking with rfc.sh: git review -v prints out all of the git commands that are being run, for those who are interested in that sort of thing git review $branch_name will submit reviews to branches that are not master git review -d $review_number will download the code for a gerrit review into a local branch Enjoy! Monty PS. Not that there are any bugs, but git-review is managed via the same process as all other openstack code - so bugs can be filed at bugs.launchpad.net/git-review and patches are accepted via gerrit. You can submit them using git review. :) PPS. If you want, after installing git-review, you can remove the review alias from ~/.gitconfig. It's not necessary, as the git-review executable does take precedence. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
