FW: patchtest: failure

[Alan Levy]

The patch applies correctly on my Linux development system but I'm having to copy it to a Windows PC and use Outlook to submit it because the Linux system has no access to email. I can only suppose that's why I get these errors. How do I fix this?

== Series Details ==

Series: base.bbclass: improve error message for missing host tools (rev2)
Revision: 2
URL   : https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/6859/
State : failure

== Summary ==


Thank you for submitting this patch series to OpenEmbedded Core. This is an automated response. Several tests have been executed on the proposed series by patchtest resulting in the following failures:



* Issue             Series cannot be parsed correctly due to malformed diff lines [test_mbox_format] 
  Suggested fix    Create the series again using git-format-patch and ensure it can be applied using git am
  Diff line        


* Issue             Series does not apply on top of target branch [test_series_merge_on_head] 
  Suggested fix    Rebase your series on top of targeted branch
  Targeted branch  master (currently at ee55b5685a)



If you believe any of these test results are incorrect, please reply to the mailing list (openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org) raising your concerns.
Otherwise we would appreciate you correcting the issues and submitting a new version of the patchset if applicable. Please ensure you add/increment the version number when sending the new version (i.e. [PATCH] -> [PATCH v2] -> [PATCH v3] -> ...).

Yes, the line endings being changed will be the problem.  You could
register a gmail account or similar and send through that (git send-email
can talk directly to GMail SMTP).

You only need access to any smtp server from the Linux machine; using 
'git send-email' does not require configuring access to an email account.

Ross,

Thanks for the advice. What I belatedly realised was that I was using HTML format rather than plain text and that was losing some of the formatting in the process. I re-sent it in plain text and this time it hasn’t been rejected (yet). Also, I wasn’t 100% certain whether the system would accept a patch from an email address that wasn’t the same as the one the patch was signed with. I can’t find any examples in the archive – would it actually work?

Regards

Alan

I believe if you tell GMail that your work email is a valid alias it will
let you send from it though the SMTP server.

Yes, if only our corporate firewall would actually let SMTP through; that was the other problem ☹.
