Download patch from email.

Hi All,

I have configured mutt as email client.

https://github.com/narkoleptik/dotfiles/blob/master/.muttrc

But my configuration don't allow me to download Linux patch's from email.

Please some one could point out the configuration or suggest other email client.

I use mutt's standard functionality to get patches from emails which I
did not have to configure IIRC. Depending on whether the patches have
been sent inline (within the email text itself) or attached to the email
I use two different methods.

Inline patches:
I use 'C' (if there are multiple patches you can tag all the mail
messages first and then use ';C') to copy all the mail messages to a
mailbox file. This mailbox file can then be read by the 'git am' command
which applies all the patches (including the commit messages) to your
git tree.

Attached patches:
Select the mail message, click 'v' and save the attached patches to disk
with 's'.

Hope that helps. I would like to hear if other people have more
efficient workflows (using custom scripts for example)!


Cheers,

Silvan

Hi Silvan,

Thanks for your input. 


I got following link which could be uses full for beginner.

`pwclient` can be used for example to retrieve patches, search the queue or update the state.

I use "|".

    $ cd ~/linux-source
    $ mutt
    (select email with patch)
    |git am

Git applies the patch to the current directory

You could of course pipe to a file with "|cat 001-file.patch"

Last note, from gmail, one can use the "show original" menu item, and
save/copy-paste the text from there. git am would understand that.

Ah, I knew about '|' but I did not know that git am can read from stdin
as well, nice!

Yes, I do that when I am not on my computer... I think all webmail
clients I have used do have a 'Show original' (or similar) option whose
text you can just copy paste.

Hi All,

I debug a bit more on the patchwork "pwclient" approach.


https://patchwork.kernel.org/help/pwclient/

Here are steps how to setup.

Download the ".pwclientrc" from the project dir you want to download patches from.

For example I downloaded from the following link.


https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-samsung-soc/

After that I checkout the "git clone git://ozlabs.org/home/jk/git/patchwork"

ubuntu at arm:~/study/patchwork$ ./apps/patchwork/bin/pwclient list -n 4
ID      State        Name
--      -----        ----
2076111 New          [v2] ARM: dts: Add node for GMAC for exynos5440
2076251 New          ARM: S3C24XX: Remove plat-s3c24xx directory in arch/arm/
2076701 New          ARM: EXYNOS5: Fix PMU register configuration for local power blocks
2079361 New          [v3,1/5] ARM: dts: Add FIMD node to exynos4


Now if I can download the patch with respect to id's

ubuntu at arm:~/study/patchwork$ ./apps/patchwork/bin/pwclient get 2079361
Saved patch to v3-1-5-ARM-dts-Add-FIMD-node-to-exynos4.patch
ubuntu at arm:~/study/patchwork$


After this we can use git am command to apply the patch.

This seams to easy approach to me.
