* patman: Allow use outside of u-boot treeVadim Bendebury2013-01-31-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make it usable in git trees not providing a patch checker implementation, add a command line option, allowing to suppress patch check. While we are at it, sort debug options alphabetically. Also, do not raise an exception if checkpatch.pl is not found - just print an error message suggesting to use the new option, and return nonzero status. . unit test passes: $ ./patman -t <unittest.result.TestResult run=7 errors=0 failures=0> . successfully used patman in the autotest tree to generate a patch email (with --no-check option) . successfully used patman in the u-boot tree to generate a patch email . `patman --help' now shows command line options ordered alphabetically Signed-off-by: Vadim Bendebury <vbendeb@chromium.org> Acked-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* patman: Add settings to the list of modules to doctestDoug Anderson2013-01-31-2/+3
| | | | | | The settings modules now has doctests, so run them. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
* patman: Add the concept of multiple projectsDoug Anderson2013-01-31-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are cases that we want to support different settings (or maybe even different aliases) for different projects. Add support for this by: * Adding detection for two big projects: U-Boot and Linux. * Adding default settings for Linux (U-Boot is already good with the standard patman defaults). * Extend the new "settings" feature in .patman to specify per-project settings.

* patman: Add support for settings in .patmanDoug Anderson2013-01-31-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for a [settings] section in the .patman file. In this section you can add settings that will affect the default values for command-line options. Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated by just referring to the "dest" of the option that is passed to the option parser. At the moment options that would make sense to put in settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose". You could override them like: [settings] ignore_errors: True process_tags: False verbose: True The settings functionality is also used in a future change which adds support for per-project settings.

* patman: Add all CC addresses to the cover letterDoug Anderson2013-01-31-1/+1
| | | | | | | If we're sending a cover letter make sure to CC everyone that we're CCing on each of the individual patches. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
* patman: Cache the CC list from MakeCcFile() for use in ShowActions()Doug Anderson2013-01-31-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Currently we go through and generate the CC list for patches twice. This gets slow when (in a future CL) we add a call to get_maintainer.pl on Linux. Instead of doing things twice, just cache the CC list when it is first generated. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
* Add 'patman' patch generation, checking and submission scriptSimon Glass2012-04-21-0/+153
What is this? ============= This tool is a Python script which: - Creates patch directly from your branch - Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags - Inserts a cover letter with change lists - Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks - Optionally emails them out to selected people It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far, since it uses the checkpatch.pl script. It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits. This means that you can work on a number of different branches at once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters each time. So for example if you put: in one of your commits, the series will be sent there. See the README file for full details. END Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
