Subject: [PATCH b4 v2 06/44] review: don't let archiving a series raise
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 23:58:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-6-243fd19d322d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-0-243fd19d322d@kernel.org>
archive_series() writes the tarball unguarded, so a write failure
raises into the send path after the mail is already out. Return
(False, detail) like the other failures here; nothing is destroyed at
that point, so the archive can be retried. A Patchwork failure after
the archive is written is a warning, not a failed archive.
