Hi,
we have the first round of contributions through Gerrit and maybe now is a good
time to look at the mail setup. My goal was to:
* Have diff's/patches be sent to the MailingList to see what is going on
* Have comments be sent to the MailingList to have people learn from feedback
In terms of technology Gerrit offers us the following notifications[1]
new_changes Somebody created a new change
new_patchsets Somebody updated/added a patch(set) to a change
all_comments Somebody but jenkins commented
submitted_changes Somebody has pushed the submit button and it is in
abandoned_changes Somebody gave up on the change
all Everything
Currently we are using "all" and maybe we want to limit it to "new_patchsets"
and "all_comments". "all_comments" is a bit troublesome as it includes empty
messages like "+2" with actual review comments.
What would be the close to ideal solution?
* Be able to reply by mail to changes (most likely not to come)
* Mails sent have the author name as From (but gerrit mail address)?
* Empty mails like "+2" not sent to the Mailinglist?
* Subject changed? [PATCH] and omit branch name? Or omit project name?
Other proposals? Move it to a new mailinglist and leave OpenBSC as low-volume
mailinglist?
comments? feedback? ideas?
