[Qemu-devel] [announce] git patch database

[Gerd Hoffmann]

   Hi folks,

I've setup some scripts which extract the patches from the list, sorts 
them, tries to apply them to master and tries to build them.  Results 
can be checked here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/pdb.git?a=heads

Each patch (series) is committed to a new branch.  In case something 
fails the logs are committed, just check out the most recent commit of a 
failed branch to figure what went wrong.

Right now the process isn't fully automatic (yet?), so new data will 
appear only Mon->Fri for the time being.

enjoy,
   Gerd

Basically, a qemu-next type tree.  I think this is a really great idea 
and I've been considering suggesting it.

Are you automatically merging branches into a single tree or do you just 
keep each set of patches in their own branch?

Each patch/patchset is in their own branch.  The script also tries to 
merge all patch branches of a day together ($day/merged branch) and 
build it.  Works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't ...

What happens if someone sends a patch adding "rm -rf /" somewhere in
the configure script?

The service will stop until I've restored $HOME ...
