[Buildroot] FW: [PATCH 1/1] toolchain-buildroot: create a relocatable one

[Noam Camus]

Hi Thomas,

I wish to contribute.
However my organization security rules are not allowing me to send directly with send-email outside our organization.

So I send-email to myself and only through outlook and exchange server I can forward the email to buildroot.

Isn't there a way to send a patch as file?

Editing the patch manually in outlook is something I wish to avoid.

Regards,
noam

No, it has to be sent inline, because it's an integral part of our
review process to have patches sent inline, so that people can comment.

If your company IT department is unable to understand which tools the
company engineers need to properly contribute to open-source
communities, I'd say you should create a GMail account, and use that as
the SMTP server to send your e-mail. I believe that's what a lot of
people do when they have to work in hostile environments.

Best regards,

Thomas

[Noam Camus] Do I need to subscribe again with my gmail account?
Is adding to command line --smtp-server=smtp.gmail.com is enough?
What about the user name in gmail?
Any working example somewhere under doc?

Noam

See the EXAMPLE section of the git-send-email(1) man page (online at 
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email).

You git username need not be the same as your gmail account. The former is 
defined under the [user] git configuration section with the 'name' and 'email' 
parameters. The latter is defined under the [sendemail] section as described 
in the manual page I referred to above.

I followed EXAMPLE section but /usr/libexec/git-core/git-send-email always complains:
Unable to initialize SMTP properly. Check config and use --smtp-debug. VALUES: server=smtp.gmail.com encryption=tls maildomain=xxx.ezchip.com Debug=0 port=587 at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 1041.

This is Net::SMTP->new() that always returns NULL.
I used CPAN to install latest Net::SMTP.

Any ideas?

Noam Camus

Your friendly corporate firewall might be blocking outgoing traffic to port 
587. Try doing 'telnet smtp.gmail.com 587'. If you get timeout, this is most 
likely the reason. Your best options is to talk to your IT department to let 
you access to outgoing port 587. If that fails I can think of two workarounds:

1. Use an external server you can control from withing your corporate network 
   (SSH would be best, though I guess your firewall blocks SSH as well)

2. Tunnel SMTP over HTTP somehow. This is quite ugly.

Others on this list may have better solutions for this frustrating problem.

If it's purely a proxy problem, then you can use socat to let smtp go
through the tunnel.
Set up git to use localhost as smtp server, and a port of your choice,
for example 10587, and set up a socat instance:

socat TCP4-LISTEN:$localport,reuseaddr,fork
PROXY:$proxy:$remotehost:$remoteport,proxyport=$proxyport,resolve

where localport=10587, remotehost=smtp.gmail.com, remoteport=587,
proxy=proxy.yourcompany.com proxyport=8080 (whatever is the right port
for your proxy)

Same trick can be used to forward IRC through the proxy.

Best regards,
Thomas

(There's no need to repeat your name here between square brackets:
quotations are sufficient to know who spoke).

Yes, you will have to subscribe again with your GMail account if the
From of your e-mails is going to be @gmail.com.

Baruch gave some details about this.
