Re: Debbugs handling of Guix patches

[Pjotr Prins]

I think the web page for patches is rather good :) Especially that you
can sort by date and the 'Toggle all extra information' switch. Nice.
The emacs plugin, as usual, is amazing. I ought to try and submit a
patch again ;)

It seems to be working now:

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=guix-patches

Thanks, Glenn!

I see you got this sorted out, so I've now completed the debbugs part.
It may take an hour or so for the mailing list redirection to take effect.

Yeah, I tried submitting a patch to the new list and it didn't go
through.  I'm looking forward to it being in place, though! :)

Oh, OK.

It does show up at  though.
I wonder if there’s just a delay somewhere (24h already), or if
something’s wrong on Savannah.

guix-patches IS the maintainer.

package = guix-patches
maintainer = guix-patches@gnu

Opening a bug in "guix-patches" sends a mail to guix-patches@gnu.

In exclusive mode, sending a mail to guix-patches@gnu creates (or
replies to) a bug in the "guix-patches" package.


guix-patches isn't listed at
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guix-patches

When it is, I can finish setting this up.

Sorry for the confusion.  I was referring to the “maintainer email
address” as mentioned in Using.html.  Can it be bug-g...@gnu.org or
guix-devel@gnu.org?

This is fine, but I'm confused by you saying the email address could be
bug-guix@gnu. The email address is guix-patches@gnu.

You'll get one debbugs report created for each mail in a given series.
This is explained at https://debbugs.gnu.org/15361, along with the
workaround: first create a report ("here's the problem for which I will
send a patch"), then send patches to that bug number rather than bug-foo.

Debbugs handling of Guix patches

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello Debbugs!

We’d like to use Debbugs to handle some of the patches we get for Guix,
and I have just created guix-patc...@gnu.org for that purpose.

Looking at , I think the name for
Debbugs should be “guix-patches”.  The email address could be
bug-g...@gnu.org, but that’s another Debbugs instance (what is this
address actually used for?).  The URL is
.

We’d use it in “exclusive mode”.

We’re wondering about patch series as sent by ‘git send-email’ though.
What would be your suggestion for those?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
