All, (especially david & zach, you seem to do this very well). Yes, this is some what "off-topic" for this list, but it is on topic because the list wants "small more reviewable patches". To that end, I'm looking for a better way to deal with patch sets, etc.
I've noticed that for example some post a nice series of 10 patches... each a minor step... in total quite a lot, and the poster tends to do all of these patches at once. Problem #1. ======== Yea, I can create an SVN patch - from HEAD, but that's not what I'm looking for. For example - if I have 5 changes to a file, and they are standalone patches, I do the work 'independently' - ie: change 1 today, change 2 tomorrow, etc. Other then manually editing the resulting "cumulative patch" (a nasty job) - what better way or tool is there to do this? Problem #2 ======== So those patches are posted... on the list, waiting for stuff, and I have other things to deal with. Creating the next patch, for a different file - or set of files is again painfully manual. Isn't there some way to say: "Hey patch tool - you already know about those first 5 changes in Problem #1" please ... assume those are done, and create my patch file based on that. How can I do that? Again, other then manually editing the patch file, or manually creating crazy command lines to do the diffs/patch generation. ======== Ideas, suggestions, techniques would be quite helpful for me. -Duane. _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
