I just pipe the message (with ‘|’ in Gnus) to “git am -s” and voilà.

No, nothing more than what I described above.

HTH!

Yes, this writeup is way cool

A great reference !

Thank you Pjotr !

BUT ! ;-)

In asking for directions I was referring to the workflow in using the
debbugs-emacs thing, how to save a patch locally when receiving it on the
mailing list, how to apply it

The way I found is a tiny button in the toolbar that saves a patch locally.

But is there anymore to know ? or example, does the debbugs-emacs thing
offer a way to apply a patch to a branch ?

Thanks again !

This is really nice!  Maybe we should link to it from or put it on the
Guix website somewhere?

I submitted my first patch on debbugs. It is a fairly trivial one for
speedtest-cli which I need because I move around so much ;)

More importantly I wrote some documentation:

  
https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/HACKING.org#making-a-patch-and-submit-to-the-guix-project

Comments welcome (as usual).

Say you want to test one patch that has been submitted to patches-guix

How do you do that ?
How do you extract the patch from within the Emacs Debbugs buffer ?

I see there's a menu that pops up with the mouse-3 button with a "save
as..." issue.

Do you just save it somewhere and then you continue from there ?

Further, there are 2 issues in that menu that make me curious

"View interactively..." that asks me to indicate a Viewer. Which viewer ?
What is this about ?

"Take action on part..." that asks me to indicate an Action. Again, what is
this about ?

Thanks

So!  We have a new debbugs tracking of guix-patches.  Great!  Those who
are emacs users in the know probably like to use the M-x debbugs-gnu
interface.  Here's what you need to do:

Add this to your .emacs:
  (add-to-list 'debbugs-gnu-all-packages "guix-patches")

Now open up debbugs-gnu:
  C-u M-x debbugs-gnu   guix-patches  n y

And now you have a nice emacs interface!

I found this documentation on debbugs useful:
  https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

And also, maybe you want to tag bugs or etc.  Use the 'C' key from the
emacs interface!

Happy bug triaging!
