Hi,
branches. One part that imo really should stick around is the drm-tip integration tree rebuilding. That allows us to distribute conflict handling (e.g. between drm-misc-fixes and drm-misc-next), and with more people and more drivers in drm-misc I expect more conflicts.
Ok, good point. I see there is a separate "dim rebuild-top" command, so that should be doable no matter how I actually apply the patches.
Trying to run dim throws errors at me though:
kraxel@nilsson ~/tmp/maintainer-tools (maintainer-tools)# ./dim help ./dim: line 1602: declare: -n: invalid option declare: usage: declare [-aAfFgilrtux] [-p] [name[=value] ...] kraxel@nilsson ~/tmp/maintainer-tools (maintainer-tools)# bash --version GNU bash, version 4.2.46(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
declare -n introduced in bash 4.3 is needed for alias support. Workaround at [1].

But dim apply-branch is a supposed to be a drop-in replacement for git apply-mbox, so should be simple to integrate into another set of scripts to manage the mails. And if there's changes to dim needed to make that happen, we can do that (we push patches to it at a regular pace).
The patches tool prepares a mbox file, then runs "git am". Shouldn't be that hard to make it configurable ...
N.b. dim currently doesn't do all its magic, such as adding Link: tag, if you apply more than one patch at a time. If you apply a multi-patch mbox, only the last one will get the Link: tag.
BR, Jani.
Ok. How quickly could I start using drm-misc? I have some pending patches for the 4.11 merge window. Any chance I can push them through drm-misc-next? Or should I better send a pull req to Dave?
If you want you can get started right away. I plan to type some small docs for this experiment, but the only thing you need is an fdo account with drm-misc commit rights. Simplest to ping me (and fdo admins) on #dri-devel.
Ok.
cheers, Gerd
