Hei hei, it's me again, I want to add some more thoughts on this. O:-)

Even worse: in different places, like first patch in one, and third patch in the other series? Each call of `git ptx-patches` would change the file numbers in the file names, breaking the other series? > Seriously, that looks messy to me, how should anyone looking at the > directory know which patch belongs to which series without looking at > the series files?

What I would do, and in fact I did this with patches for U-Boot for five different boards: throw all patches into one series. Why separate them? Or if that's not possible, put distinct patch series configs/platform-XXX/patches/barebox-2022.03.0 as suggested before. Well, there's one more possibility: put the patch series to different top layers. ;-) Any more possibilities? Happy TIMTOWTDI everyone! ;-) Greets Alex -- /"\ ASCII RIBBON | »With the first link, the chain is forged.
