Patch format for submission?

Patch format for submission?

[Peter Barada]

1) Does anyone have a URL of the format patches should be in that are
submitted to the linux-omap list?

I've got some patches to add base support for the Logic OMAP 35x SOM and
Torpedo boards and I'd like to submit them in the right format for
inclusion and push into mainline.

Documentation/SubmittingPatches and Documentation/CodingStyle are pretty 
good intros to this.

In addition to above suggestions, I highly recommend using git tools
which automate many of these recommended steps.

Usin 'git format-patch' and then 'git send-email' will get you a long
ways.

Kevin,

Most of my work is done with LTIB/svn.  Is there a good starter document
for git on how to have a local tree, local changes, and keep it up to
date with a remote tree?  I've waded through some of git's
documentation, but its bit daunting bending my brain around git after
many years of SVN/CVS.

1) If I use "git fetch" to create a local copy, how do I check in
changes to my tree (that stay local), then update my tree to changes
you've made?  I assume this is where rebasing comes in, but I'm unclear
on the process - I've littered my machine with multiple busted git trees
trying to track yours and Tony's trees/branches/tags.  Any quick
examples are highly appreciated.

2) Are there tools to take an SVN tree and "import" it into a git tree
(or do I have to do that by hand, patching my git tree foreach SVN
revision I have)?

You can start with the Git tutorial [1] and Everyday Git [2]. The entry point 
for git documentation is at [3].

[1] http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html
[2] http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html

You use 'git fetch', 'git pull' and 'git rebase' commands for that, cf. [1] 
and [2].

git svn clone <repository url> <local repo name>

will do it.

Something like:

git svn clone https://www.mydomain.com/svn/project/trunk project

then you can even commit and push to a svn tree. after getting newest
git tarball from [1], you can:

$ make prefix=/usr all doc
# make prefix=/usr install install-doc
$ git help svn

then you get git installed and help about svn support on git ;-)

Peter,

Look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel top level directory. It
has instructions and links to other documents for submitting a correct patch.

Amit

Hi Peter,

nice to see your announcement here at linux-omap. Today I've finished my own 
port for the Logic OMAP 35x SOM based on 2.6.31-rc1. We should share our 
results befor submitting any patches to the list, or not?

That's the last message I can find from either of you on this topic.
I'm in the process of rolling yet another patch set for 2.6.32.  Was any
further work done on this, or anything posted anywhere?

Zygo,

No, the LogicPD OMAP 35x support didn't quite make it out to the list,
we are taking another crack at it shortly and would definitely love to
collaborate to get the changes out. We did create a Gitorious repo[1],
but that's sitting at 2.6.31-rc1 and we've internally got a newer
version of the Kernel up to date..

So we should definitely discuss off-list on how to pool our efforts to
get the support into the L-O tree..

Hi Zygo, Ashwin and Peter,

I was tied up with business and did no further work on my 2.6.31-rc1 for more 
than six months. Since last week I've been working on a fresh port of my own 
patch set based on latest stable 2.6.32-omap1 (looks good except USB and NOR 
flash access).

Yes of course. We should discuss off-list on how to share our results. Last 
summer I did create a new gitorious.org project for LogicPD omap boards too:
http://gitorious.org/omap3logic (soory there is no content til now ;-))

We can use it as our stage, or not?

@Ashwin: Where is your Gitorious repo you tell about?


Regards,
Stephan
