Patches

[Alan Cox]

I seem to be getting more and more patches that have tabs/spaces
broken and line wrap damage. I've dumped a pile in my queue including
some pcmcia support for sh3 and the like

If your patches are getting ignored please mail yourself a copy and
check your mailer works. If you have problems use mime (Linus doesnt like
mime I dont care)

Note that pine 4.30 (shipped with Red Hat 7) has taken to stripping 
trailing whitespace from each line of a mail just before it sends it.

See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23679 for a patch, 
if you can get at it - I seem to be firewalled from it at the moment. 

This corruption still occurs in pine 4.32.

I will take a look at the patch and apply it to my next PINE
build for testing.

Fun thing to do as root, in the root directory:
chmod -R 666 *
Just as bad as rm -rf *, but more fun.

And you can't change permissions, since chmod isn't executable either. :-)

I should qualify that, just in case I'm actually lying.

Netscape is bad news for patches, both sending and receiving.  On send
it wraps lines and doesn't let you see the wrapped version until after
it's sent - on receive it likes to convert tabs to spaces.  Avoid.

I haven't tried mozilla yet.  I should, because if Mozilla is similarly
broken at least we can fix it.

Kmail works fine.

Hmmm. Would be great, but could you get working beyond some proxy? I
couldn't, and so I have to use Netscape, since pine doesn't really
support proxies, too. Same with MS Outlook, which is - o horror - also
avariable for Linux (in one package with MS Internet Exploder)!
If there is a way, please tell me!

Um, mail proxy? Is there such a beast? I always thought that that was
called 'mail server'. Where do you find configuration tabs for that in
netscape?

Whenever it works, it seems to use the socks proxy. We unfortunately
have a NT 4 Workstation as proxy for administration, so I have to proxy
my mail data.

I use Netscape Mail all the time to send patches, and it works
beautifully 95% of the time.

If you attach the patch, Netscape detects it is text/plain and does not
encode it.  People who dislike MIME complain a bit, but at least you can
see the patch and comment on it.  And attaching the patch ensures that
no editor mangling occurs.

That said, every now and then, Netscape's text/plain autodetect will
puke and eat an attached patch.  But that happens so infrequently that
the utility outweighs the pain.

Patches

[Miles Rout]

I'm probably stepping on some toes here, but is it really necessary to
post raw patches to this list? They do rather clog up one's inbox.

What's wrong with git?

It depends what your patches are for. If you're working on a specific
subsystem, it might also suffice sending the patches to the appropriate
mailing list for that subsystem.

Just make sure to always Cc: the maintainers of the bits you're patching,
and check the file MAINTAINERS in your Linux tree. Also read up
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for general information.

> What's wrong with git?

Nothing's wrong with git. It's just that sending patches to a mailing list makes
it easier for people to comment on them.

Patches...

[Russell King]

I'm about to send out 8 patches:

 --- 2.5.29-keyboard
 --- 2.5.29-pci
 --- 2.5.29-rdunzip
 --- 2.5.30-pcnet_cs
 --- 2.5.31-serport
 --- 2.5.32-bug
 --- 2.5.32-flags
 --- 2.5.32-smph

These are patches that are in the ARM tree, and I consider them to
be useful to others, bug fixes or compilation fixes that have been
collected.  All the above have been found not to be in 2.5.32.

Where applicable, they're copied to maintainers or Rusty's trivial
patch address.  However, if people want to pick off any of these
patches and integrate them into their trees, and eventually push
them towards Linus, that's fine by me.

Any that aren't picked up will be re-mailed at some point in the
future (seems like its about once every 3 weeks to a month at the
moment.)
