Usually those patchsets fail to apply and patchew keeps quiet. This series is the first victim of a exception, seemingly. :) > > Is there an appropriate way to avoid complaints when sending a patchset that > isn't based on QEMU master ? Currently we don't, but we can invent one. Like: Base: http://github.com/someone/qemu branch for the "base on maintainer tree" case, or just inform patchew to "pull" instead of apply: Git: http://github.com/someone/qemu topic for the "base on the other series" case. Supporting this is not complicated, the tricky thing is to remember to put that magic in cover letters every time a series doesn't base on master. Any thoughts on the harder question? :) Fam
