Hi All,
You do all realise that we are going about this, to use some British
vernacular, arse-about-tit
Everyone agrees that the current U-Boot review workflow 'has issues' (and
has had issues for quite some time). The first attempt at overcoming these
issues was Patchwork. I personally think that that ended up being far less
successful than we hoped
Maybe it's time to swing around back and talk about what's wrong with
our current tools then.
Thanks!
What I don't like about patchwork:
- Some patches just don't make it in.
- Sometimes discussions can be a bit hard to follow there, but that's
what real mail list archives are for.
Yep.
What I miss in patchwork:
- It would be great, if patchwork could detect newer version from patches
and mark the old patches superseeded ... but maybe this is not trivial
for all patches... and have somewhere in the new patch website a link
to the superseeded patch, so I can easy find the old patch and can look
in it.
This isn't as easy as it sounds I think. And honestly, it's not hard to
handle manually, if you get in the habit. And...
Yes, but we just collect things we want/miss/dont like ... so it is
a point I want, not a must, as I can handle this manually.
- If a custodian change the state of a patch, send at least a EMail
to the owner of the patch with the info of the state changes.
Wishlisting, I'd like to see the reverse, known project custodian saying
"Applied to" or "NAK" causing Accepted (or Awaiting Upstream, this is a
little complex..) or Rejected to happen automatically. This could save
on sending out the applied messages, but that's what bundles give me.
Open it up in mutt, reply, find/paste/save-for-later, repeat.
- Maybe a cmdline interface to change the state of a patch, so I do not
need to open a webbrowser (not necessary, would just nice ;-)
As Wolfgang pointed out, there is a cli suite (doesn't like SOCKS, iirc,
tho). So it's scriptable to different levels. With Wolfgang's setup,
you could just for loop over the old series and it goes automagically.
Yes, I look into the cmdline interface... thanks!
bye,
Heiko
