Hi all, I have written the simplest patch relation detector that might possibly work as an API client. It is running against the patchwork and linuxppc-dev projects on patchwork.ozlabs.org.
It currently detects mails with identical subjects (after prefixes are removed) within a 180 day window. This is not a very sophisticated matching system, but given that it's an API client and not in the core, I'm much happier to experiment and build up sophistication as and when it's needed. You can get the code at https://github.com/daxtens/pw-pared . I'm using the same license as Patchwork, for a number of reasons, but in part because we may one day want to migrate the functionality into the patchwork core. Patches are welcome. You can see some examples of where PaReD has set up meaningful relations at: - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/20210802073929.907431-2-kj...@linux.ibm.com/ - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/patchwork/patch/20210823182833.3976100-6-ra...@google.com/ Some very obvious things that doing this has exposed: - the relations display should show the status of each related patch (e.g. New, Superseded, Accepted) - Series relations would make a lot of sense - probably even more sense from a human point of view - and we should probably build those at some point. - PaReD requires an API token for a maintainer account (much like for pushing checks) which is annoying and one day we should sort out fine-grained permissions. Ask your patchwork instance admin if a maintainer account for PaReD is right for you!
