who's using the ozlabs patchwork install for QEMU patches ?

[Peter Maydell]

Does anybody use the ozlabs patchwork install for QEMU patches,
either occasionally or on a regular basis ?
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/list/
The admins for that system are trying to identify which of
the various projects are really using their patchwork instances,
so I figured I'd do a quick survey here. We don't use it
as an official project tool but it's certainly possible to
use it as an individual developer in one way or another.

(Personally I am in the "occasionally it's useful for finding
a patch which didn't get archived by patchew or the 'patches'
tool for some reason" camp at the moment.)

I think it might be used by some of the ppc hackers ... so CC:-ing to

The "How to submit a patch" page at
https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch#If_your_patch_seems_to_have_been_ignored
says to send patchew URL with pings. Does that make it "official"?

Thanks for the reminder, I updated the patchwork URL to patchew :)

Well, I'm not.  TBH, I've never got the hang of patchwork.

I used patchwork on ozlabs.org heavily to track my patches of QEMU,
e.g.: update patch status to "superseded" when newer version is sent

Not really. My two go to archives are patchew.org/QEMU and
lore.kernel.org (which is where b4 gets it's patches from).

I checked the FreeBSD ports tree and found that its u-boot port was the
only one to be using ozlabs. We've not used it on the bsd-user stuff
either: that's being done in github in a repo I submitted a maintainer
update for recently.

Thanks for the reports. Do you use the features like assigning
patches to people and changing patch status, or do you mostly
just use it as a read-only archive-of-patches ?

Only the latter but mostly because I don't have the permissions
to change status, e.g. when trying to change status of this
recent patch from Cedric to rearrange the PowerPC docs:

You don't have permissions to edit patch 'docs/system: Extend PPC section'

My understanding is that users must be "maintainer" to edit other's
patches. Only three 'maintainers' are currently listed at ozlabs for
QEMU:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/api/1.0/projects/14/

We had a discussion about that a few months back with Christian Schoenebeck
(9pfs maintainer, Cc'd) who also uses patchworks. It turned out we didn't
quite know how to go further because of lack of documentation, but I'd be
glad to experiment the full patchwork experience if someone knows how to
do it :-)

I can update my patch status in the QEMU project. I am not sure if
this is due to I am a maintainer of another project hosted on
ozlabs.org.

I personally found patchwork is really helpful for mainatiner's work.
But it looks the maintainers from the QEMU community do not use it.

Yeah everyone can update its own patches but you need to
be maintainer of a project to update the status of other's
patch for this project IIUC.

Ah, I see, thanks. So the question is whether QEMU maintainers want to
try the practice of using patchwork to help their maintenance work ...

If people want to try that kind of thing out I'm happy to try
to tweak their permissions on the patchwork instance.

Hmm. Having looked through the UI and docs I can't figure
out how to do that (or even if 'maintainer' permission is
sufficient to add other maintainers; maybe one has to ask the
patchwork instance admins to do that?). If you can tell me what
I need to do to add you to the maintainer list for QEMU I'll do it :-)

We were looking into this last year, and from my (poor) understanding this is 
how it works:

If somebody knows a more convenient/appropriate way, that would be 
appreciated.

Jeremy or Stephen (cc-ing) do definitely know if there is a better way.

The standard process is to send me an email :)

You're wanting to add user 'groug' to the qemu project, is that
correct?

Cheers,

Yes.  Using it as as patch archive, for example when linking to a patch
(series) in a bug tracker comment.  Being able list patches by submitter
is very convenient, I even have a link with "?submitter=<me>" bookmarked.

take care,

No, not really. I usually let the folks who request the project in the
first place know though.

Sure thing, done!

You should now have access to modify patch states in the qemu
patchwork. If you'd prefer to work with patchwork from the command-
line, check out the pwclient, git-pw and pwnm-sync tools, at:

     https://patchwork.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/clients/
