[Qemu-devel] proposal: new qemu-arm mailing list

[Peter Maydell]

Hi; it's been suggested to me that it would be helpful to have a
qemu-arm mailing list, along the lines of the existing qemu-ppc
and qemu-block lists. The idea would be to get people to cc the
list with their ARM related patches, so it would mostly act as
a way for people to filter their mail to separate the ARM stuff
out from the qemu-devel firehose. (Everything should still be
cc'd to qemu-devel as well.)

Any objections/opinions?

thanks

FWIW, I like the idea. Although

notmuch tag +qemu-arm -- tag:new \
                         and to:qemu-devel@nongnu.org \
                         and \( subject:arm or subject:aarch64 \)

also seems to work pretty well for me.

Thanks,
drew

Funnily enough for mu I have the something similar:

list:qemu-devel.nongnu.org AND (aarch64 OR arm64 OR A64)

 I also vote for it. The main qemu-devel traffic is quite high, and not everyone wants to get it.

 I would drop this requirement, except for stuff which could touch core functionality (qom, qobject).

This is a standard requirement for all our sub-mailing lists --
not everybody is subscribed to all of them, and it is useful
to be able to get an overview of everything going on by
subscribing to a single mailing list.

Just to jump on and bead a dead horse, I am not OK with the idea of a
mailing list where patches might get reviewed and staged for pull
without the general population of qemu-devel being able to look first.

I don't want to have to scan the [PULL] tag hoping to catch things of
interest to me that were reviewed on opaque-to-me sub-mailing lists.

Sorry :)

I am of course in favor of the list in general. qemu-block has been very
useful for us.

OK, I've now created qemu-arm@nongnu.org. The mailman subscribe
page is here: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-arm
though of course you can just stay subscribed to qemu-devel and
filter on qemu-arm being in cc...
