2013-04-04patman: Make "Reviewed-by" an important tagDoug Anderson
Although "Reviewed-by:" is a tag that gerrit adds, it's also a tag used by upstream. Stripping it is undesirable. In fact, we should treat it as important. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Otavio Salvador <otavio@ossystems.com.br> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-04-04patman: Add additional git utiltiesSimon Glass
Add methods to find out the commits in a branch, clone a repo and fetch from a repo. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-04-04patman: Allow reading metadata from a list of commitsSimon Glass
We normally read from the current branch, but buildman will need to look at commits from another branch. Allow the metadata to be read from any list of commits, to provide this flexibility. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-04-04patman: Allow commands to raise on error, or notSimon Glass
Make raise_on_error a parameter so that we can control which commands raise and which do not. If we get an error reading the alias file, just continue. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-04-04patman: Make command methods return a CommandResultSimon Glass
Rather than returning a list of things, return an object. That makes it easier to access the returned items, and easier to extend the return value later. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-04-04patman: Add cros_subprocess library to manage subprocessesSimon Glass
This adds a new library on top of subprocess which permits access to the subprocess output as it is being generated. We can therefore give the illusion that a process is running independently, but still monitor its output so that we know what is going on. It is possible to display output on a terminal as it is generated (a little like tee). The supplied output function is called with all stdout/stderr data as it arrives.

2013-04-04patman: Use bright ANSI colours by defaultSimon Glass
Rather than the rather dull colours, use bright versions which normally look better and are easier to read. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-04-04patman: Use ANSI colours only when outputting to a terminalSimon Glass
It is easy to detect whether or not the process is connected to a terminal, or piped to a file. Disable ANSI colours automatically when output is not to a terminal. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Allow use outside of u-boot treeVadim Bendebury
To make it usable in git trees not providing a patch checker implementation, add a command line option, allowing to suppress patch check. While we are at it, sort debug options alphabetically. Also, do not raise an exception if checkpatch.pl is not found - just print an error message suggesting to use the new option, and return nonzero status. . unit test passes: $ ./patman -t <unittest.result.TestResult run=7 errors=0 failures=0> . successfully used patman in the autotest tree to generate a patch email (with --no-check option) . successfully used patman in the u-boot tree to generate a patch email . `patman --help' now shows command line options ordered alphabetically Signed-off-by: Vadim Bendebury <vbendeb@chromium.org> Acked-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Add settings to the list of modules to doctestDoug Anderson
The settings modules now has doctests, so run them. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Add the concept of multiple projectsDoug Anderson
There are cases that we want to support different settings (or maybe even different aliases) for different projects. Add support for this by: * Adding detection for two big projects: U-Boot and Linux. * Adding default settings for Linux (U-Boot is already good with the standard patman defaults). * Extend the new "settings" feature in .patman to specify per-project settings. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Add support for settings in .patmanDoug Anderson
This patch adds support for a [settings] section in the .patman file. In this section you can add settings that will affect the default values for command-line options. Support is added in a generic way such that any setting can be updated by just referring to the "dest" of the option that is passed to the option parser. At the moment options that would make sense to put in settings are "ignore_errors", "process_tags", and "verbose". You could override them like: [settings] ignore_errors: True process_tags: False verbose: True The settings functionality is also used in a future change which adds support for per-project settings. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Add a call to get_maintainer.pl if it existsDoug Anderson
For Linux the best way to figure out where to send a patch is with the "get_maintainer.pl" script. Add support for calling it from patman. Support is added unconditionally for "scripts/get_maintainer.pl" in case it is helpful for any other projects. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Add all CC addresses to the cover letterDoug Anderson
If we're sending a cover letter make sure to CC everyone that we're CCing on each of the individual patches. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Cache the CC list from MakeCcFile() for use in ShowActions()Doug Anderson
Currently we go through and generate the CC list for patches twice. This gets slow when (in a future CL) we add a call to get_maintainer.pl on Linux. Instead of doing things twice, just cache the CC list when it is first generated. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Look for checkpatch in the scripts directoryDoug Anderson
The Linux kernel stores checkpatch.pl in the scripts directory. Add that to the search path to make things more automatic for kernel development. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Allow tests to run even if patman is in the pathDoug Anderson
Several of the patman doctests assume that patman was run with: ./patman Fix them so that they work even if patman is run with just "patman" (because patman is in the path). Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2013-01-31patman: Add spaces back into patman testDoug Anderson
The patman test code was failing because some extra spaces got stripped when it was applied. These spaces are critical to the test code working. Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2012-11-14patman: Issue empty change logs for unchanged patchesSimon Glass
Often a particular patch may change only for some versions of a series. For versions where there is no change, issue a change log indicating that (for example 'Changes in v4: None'). For such lines, don't add a blank line afterwards, to conserve space. Use list.insert() instead of list = [item] + list. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Tested-by: Stefan Roese <sr@denx.de>
2012-11-04patman: Add additional tags to ignoreSimon Glass
The BRANCH= tag can be used to indicate the destination branch for a commit. Ignore this tag. Also ignore the gerrit 'Commit-Ready:' tag. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2012-10-19patman: force git log commands to not use colorAlbert ARIBAUD
Colored logs confuse patman when analyzing logs. Add --no-color option in git log commands in case the default config has color. Signed-off-by: Albert ARIBAUD <albert.u.boot@aribaud.net> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com>
2012-10-15patman: Handle checkpatch.pl not providing file/line infoSimon Glass
Sometimes we don't get a valid filename or line number from checkpatch.pl, for example if the patch is in a bad format. Deal with this by using a default value, rather than a stack trace. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2012-10-15patman: Support Series-name tag to name a seriesSimon Glass
Sometimes it is possible to forget the name of the branch you used to generate an upstream series. To assist with this, add an optional patman does not use this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2012-09-26patman: Use reverse order for changelogOtavio Salvador
Specially when many revisions are need for a patchset, the most interesting information is about the last set of changes so we output the changelog in reverse order to easy identification of most recent change set.

2012-09-02patman: Do not Cc addresses included in To listOtavio Salvador
In case an address is listed in the To list, those will be skipped on Cc list or user might end with a duplicated message. This fixes the case when a tag points to same address used as series destination thus avoiding duplicated sending. Signed-off-by: Otavio Salvador <otavio@ossystems.com.br>
2012-09-02patman: Allow for changelog use in first version of a seriesOtavio Salvador
When a patchset had a RFC series, a v1 might have a changelog of changes done since the RFC. The patch changes the range checked for changelog and allow it to start for version 1. Signed-off-by: Otavio Salvador <otavio@ossystems.com.br> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2012-09-02patman: don't mess with signoffsIlya Yanok
Currently patman assumes that there should be only one Signoff line and this is obviously incorrect: we often have to work with patches containing other people signoffs. Moreover, it's really desirable to preserve the comments between signoffs. So until some sophisticated signoff processing will be developed I suggest just don't mess with signoffs at all and treat them like plain text lines. The only drawback I've found so far is the case where you have a patch with someones else signoff but not yours and also have to patman tags under signoff line. In this case you will get extra empty line between signoffs. Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <ilya.yanok@cogentembedded.com>
2012-09-02patman: don't mess with changelogIlya Yanok
Don't try to sort and uniq changelog entries as this breaks multiline entries. It will be better to add some real multi-line support but for now just preserve the entries as is. Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <ilya.yanok@cogentembedded.com>
2012-09-02patman: don't pick changes while processing patchesIlya Yanok
We already got all changes from git log output and the comment to the ProcessLine function clearly states that 'patch' mode is not for scanning tags. Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <ilya.yanok@cogentembedded.com>
2012-09-02patman: fix end of changes detectionIlya Yanok
Changes may end in '---' line or Signoff line (generated by git format-patch) in case of Series-changes: lines being the last ones in commit message. So detect it properly. Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok <ilya.yanok@cogentembedded.com>
2012-06-19patman: Handle creation of patman config fileVikram Narayanan
patman shouts when it couldn't find a $(HOME)/.patman file. Handle it in a sane way by creating a new one for the user. It looks for a user.name and user.email in the global .gitconfig file, waits for the user input if it can't find there.

2012-04-21Add 'patman' patch generation, checking and submission scriptSimon Glass
What is this? ============= This tool is a Python script which: - Creates patch directly from your branch - Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags - Inserts a cover letter with change lists - Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks - Optionally emails them out to selected people It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far, since it uses the checkpatch.pl script. It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits. This means that you can work on a number of different branches at once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters each time. So for example if you put: in one of your commits, the series will be sent there. See the README file for full details. END Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
