patman: Add "postfix" support to patch subjects

2021-10-31T18:26:44+00:00

In some communities, it may be necessary to append something after PATCH in the subject line. For example, the Linux networking subsystem expects [1] patch subject prefixes like [RFC PATCH net-next 0/99]. This adds support for such "postfix"s to patman. Although entirely cosmetic, it is still nice to have.

patman: Add a Series-patchwork-url option

2020-11-14T22:23:41+00:00

2020-11-14T22:23:41+00:00

2020-11-05T16:11:31+00:00

patman: Support updating a branch with review tags

2020-11-05T16:11:31+00:00

It is tedious to add review tags into the local branch and errors can sometimes be made. Add an option to create a new branch with the review tags obtained from patchwork. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Support checking for review tags in patchwork

2020-11-05T16:11:31+00:00

Before sending out a new version of a series for review, it is important to add any review tags (e.g. Reviewed-by, Acked-by) collected by patchwork. Otherwise people waste time reviewing the same patch repeatedly, become frustrated and stop reviewing your patches. To help with this, add a new 'status' subcommand that checks patchwork for review tags, showing those which are not present in the local branch. This allows users to see what new review tags have been received and then add them. Sample output: $ patman status 1 Subject 1 Reviewed-by: Joe Bloggs 2 Subject 2 Tested-by: Lord Edmund Blackaddër Reviewed-by: Fred Bloggs + Reviewed-by: Mary Bloggs 1 new response available in patchwork The '+' indicates a new tag. Colours are used to make it easier to read. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Allow linking a series with patchwork

2020-11-05T16:11:31+00:00

Add a new Series-links tag to tell patman how to find the series in patchwork. Each item is the series ID optionally preceded by the series version that the link refers to. An empty version indicates this is the latest series. For example: Series-links: 209816 1:203302 Documentation is added in a later patch. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Update how tests are run

The current instructions are out-of-date. Fix them. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Support multi-line changes in changelogs

2020-05-30T02:55:45+00:00

This patch adds support to multi-line changes. That is, if one has a line in a changelog like - Do a thing but it spans multiple lines Using Series-process-log sort would sort as if those lines were unrelated. With this patch, any change line starting with whitespace will be considered part of the change before it. Signed-off-by: Sean Anderson Reviewed-by: Simon Glass
