Hi Lars, Julien,
Thanks for the pointers, I will read them up and follow the recommendations with my future contributions.
Sorry for the mess…
It's not really a mess: it must have been quite a pain to put the mails together manually
And it would become more painful for a second revision
I have been through this myself
But, let me ask first before reading the wikis, how do you prefer submitting series that contain patches belonging to 2 distinct repos (e.g. xen and livepatch-build-tools)?
That's a good question and a very rare use-case. We split them, as all the tools such as git format-patch only work on one repo
Applying patches also only works on a per repo basis
So, I would send two series. But mention the relationship in the cover letter (and/or patch if it is a single one)
The tools in the docs currently may not work on livepatch-build-tools.git
* First: there is no MAINTAINERS file in livepatch-build-tools.git, which really should be added
* Second: using xen.git:/scripts/add_maintainers.pl may not work when called from within livepatch-build-tools.git
I am going to play with this and update the docs and if needed the tools accordingly
You may have to improvise in the meantime:
* Step 1 & 3 will work: Step 2, option 1 will probably not (which means until I have done this, you may have to follow option 2 and make sure that the right people are CC'ed)
