Any idea to why patchew fails to apply thoses patches? The mbox
at
<https://patchew.org/QEMU/20231216182740.3305724-1-...@rfc1149.net/>
applies cleanly on master AFAICS.
This is because you put a Based-on: tag in the cover letter.
Based-on: means "please apply this other patch first before this
series, because there is a dependency" (we use it for things
like "this patchset has to sit on top of some other cleanup
patchset I sent last week and which hasn't got into git yet").
So patchew applied Anton's original patch from 2022, and then
tried
to apply your three patches on top of that, which caused a
conflict.
Thanks for the explanation. I thought "Based-on:" was just a
polite way of attributing credit to past discussions. I'll keep
that in mind. Do you want me to resubmit it as a v2 without the
"Based-on:" tag so that patchew gets it right?
Anyway, I just wanted to say that this patchset is on my
todo list to review but I'm not going to be able to get to
it before I break for Christmas, so I'll get back to it
in January. Thanks for the contribution!
Noted!
Best.
