NOO.  Just use CTRL-SHIFT-+.


ok

That would work well.


thanks this looks better, easier to read.

That is going to fail miserably because people tend to do silly things

gotcha.

Now that I can log in, can I get maintainer privileges (user: galak)

also is it possible to put the patch controls in a separate frame so  
they are always visible (dont have to scoll to the bottom to find them).

Hi Kumar,

[trimming CC list]

 galak)

Yep, you should already have maintainer privs for linuxppc-dev

 also is it possible to put the patch controls in a separate frame so
 they are always visible (dont have to scoll to the bottom to find
 them).

I'm trying to avoid using frames; it makes it hard to link to individual 
pages, and makes patch updating much more complex.

However, there shouldn't be a need for too much scrolling now - to 
prevent patch lists from growing too long, the results are paginated 
into groups of 100 patches.

Also, when there are more than about 30 patches on a page, you'll get a 
small link on the left-hand side to scroll straight to the form area.

Is this OK?

Cheers,


Jeremy

probably, will need to see when we get more patches how this actually  
looks.  I know it was a big annoyance w/v1.

New Patchwork beta

2008-08-21 Thread Jeremy Kerr
Hi all,

I've just put up a new beta of patchwork:

  http://patchwork2.ozlabs.org/

I intend to replace the existing patchwork with the new code, but would 
like to get it tested first. There aren't many patches in the system at 
the moment, but it'll receive patches from the relevant lists. I'll 
also import a set of existing mails tomorrow, to give some sample data 
to test with.

One important note - after beta testing, I'm planning to clear the test 
database and start from scratch. So, don't go spending too much time 
updating patches!

However, have a play with the new site, let me know what breaks, and any 
suggestions for changing, and we can work towards a full replacement 
for the current site.

Some differences from the old patchwork:

  * Patches can now be 'delegated' to other maintainers - this means
that maintainers can offload subsystem-specific patches to other
maintainers.

  * Anyone can create an account, and work with bundles, and manage
their own patches.

  * Pagination. No more 10MB patch lists!

  * Bundles can be made public, allow users to share patchsets

  * Better filtering interface

Project Maintainers:

  Create an account, then send me your username, and I'll add maintainer
  privileges to your account. Again, don't go too crazy with the   
  maintaining work, as it'll all be cleared out once we replace 
  patchwork.ozlabs.org

  Also: bazaar-ng, linux-mtd and linux-embedded folks: are you still
  using patchwork?

Existing patches:

  After talking to the powerpc maintainers, we've decided that we're
  going to start with a clean slate, and not import patches from the
  existing patchwork database. If you'd prefer to keep current patches
  for your project, let me know. This will be a bit of work, but I'm
  sure we can work something out.

Happy patchworking,


Jeremy

Some feedback:

* Can we increase the font size a bit?
* For the list of patches can we change the background of every other  
line (light gray)

* Parsing subject header for determining state -- [RFC]

w/o being able to log in that's my initial two cents.

Both otherwise it looks good and seem much faster than the old version.
