How to request a new project on patchwork ========================================= Patchwork_ is a tool to help track patches sent to a mailing list, to make sure they are not lost in the traffic or otherwise overlooked. .. _Patchwork: https://patchwork.kernel.org/ To get a new project added to patchwork, please send an email request to helpdesk@kernel.org with the following info: - The website with the details about the mailing list (e.g. mailman listinfo page) - The patchwork.kernel.org username of the person (or persons) who will be the project admin in patchwork. If you don't have a username yet, please create one on patchwork.kernel.org. - Patchwork-bot integration details, if desired (see below) Adding patchwork-bot integration -------------------------------- If you have your git tree on git.kernel.org, you can send a request to helpdesk@kernel.org to request patchwork-bot integration. Please provide all of the following info as part of your request: - Patchwork project URL: (e.g. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kselftest/) - Git URL: (e.g. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/) - Refname:state map: (e.g. refs/heads/next:Accepted, refs/heads/master:Mainlined) - Summary to: (e.g. example@kernel.org, example@gmail.com) - Notify submitters?: (yes/no) - (If yes on previous) Cc the list on notifications? (yes/no) - Auto-supersede series? (yes, within NN days/no) - Auto-archive old patches? (yes, when older than NN days/no) Auto-superseding series and archiving old patches ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The bot can do some basic housekeeping chores, such as automatically marking patches belonging to older versions of the series as "superseded." E.g. if a contributor sends ``[PATCH NN/30] Do foo to bar``, and then after that a new revision ``[PATCH v2 NN/30] Do foo to bar``, the bot can automatically mark the 30 patches belonging to the ``v1`` of the series as "superseded". In order to work, the following conditions must be met: - It must be submitted by the same person - It must have the exact same series name (first patch or cover letter subject wording) - It must be within the cutoff period of days specified. In other word, if the cutoff is 90 days and the new series comes in 4 months later, there will be no match Similarly, the bot can archive patches older than a certain period of time if they are still in the "New" state. Notifying submitters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you choose to notify submitters, it would send them a summary email per each series that was marked as accepted, for example:: Subject: Re: [PATCH v3,00/03] Apply foo to bar From: patchwork-bot+project-name@kernel.org To: Submitter Name Hello: This series was applied to shuah/linux-kselftest (refs/heads/fixes).
