patman is now maintained as a standalone 'patch-manager' package, so remove it from the tree. The command becomes a stub that tells people to run 'pip install patch-manager'.
buildman still imports the shared modules commit and patchstream (along with their dependencies), so this series leaves those in place. It drops the tool's code, tests, CI hooks and packaging, and removes the in-tree documentation, moving the b4 contributor guide alongside the patman note in the patch-sending docs. It also adds a .patman-defaults file so the external tool is set up for U-Boot, next to the existing .b4-config. Where the CI jobs relied on patman's requirements for the setuptools that pylibfdt needs, they now install scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/requirements.txt instead. More could be done here: commit and patchstream (and their dependencies series, get_maintainer and settings) only remain because buildman still imports them. A follow-up could move those into u_boot_pylib (or buildman itself) and drop the rest, leaving tools/patman as just the stub. Note: I was unable to run this through CI as it is not working at present. I will check it in a few days. Changes in v2: - New patch: move the b4 guide into sending_patches.rst - Remove the patman manual outright instead of leaving a stub - Add a couple of lines on how patman works to the sending guide - Point the SPI howto at the sending guide instead of the patman package - New patch: add a .patman-defaults file for the external patman tool - New patch, split from 'CI: Stop building and testing patman', to add scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/requirements.txt for setuptools - Drop the 'u_boot_pylib: Require setuptools' patch - Put the documentation and .patman-defaults patches at the front of the series Simon Glass (11): doc: Move the b4 guide into sending_patches doc: Remove the patman documentation patman: Add a .patman-defaults file for U-Boot patman: Replace the tool with a stub for patch-manager patman: Remove the test suite patman: Remove the patch-management code CI: Install pylibfdt's requirements in the tool jobs CI: Stop building and testing patman tools: docker: Drop patman from the CI image tools: Stop packaging patman as a pip module test: Stop running the patman tests .azure-pipelines.yml | 9 +- .gitlab-ci.yml | 13 +- .patman-defaults | 32 + Makefile | 1 - doc/develop/codingstyle.rst | 48 - doc/develop/driver-model/spi-howto.rst | 4 +- doc/develop/index.rst | 1 - doc/develop/patman.rst | 1 - doc/develop/sending_patches.rst | 63 +- doc/develop/testing.rst | 2 +- scripts/make_pip.sh | 10 +- test/run | 1 - tools/binman/pyproject.toml | 2 +- tools/docker/Dockerfile | 2 - tools/patman/README.rst | 1 - tools/patman/__init__.py | 5 +- tools/patman/__main__.py | 68 +- tools/patman/checkpatch.py | 287 -- tools/patman/cmdline.py | 516 --- tools/patman/control.py | 333 -- tools/patman/cser_helper.py | 1524 ------- tools/patman/cseries.py | 1165 ------ tools/patman/database.py | 823 ---- tools/patman/func_test.py | 1342 ------ tools/patman/patchwork.py | 852 ---- tools/patman/patman.rst | 1023 ----- tools/patman/project.py | 27 - tools/patman/pyproject.toml | 29 - tools/patman/pytest.ini | 2 - tools/patman/requirements.txt | 6 - tools/patman/send.py | 197 - tools/patman/setup.py | 11 - tools/patman/status.py | 405 -- tools/patman/test/0000-cover-letter.patch | 23 - .../0001-pci-Correct-cast-for-sandbox.patch | 51 - ...-for-sandbox-in-fdtdec_setup_mem_siz.patch | 85 - tools/patman/test/test01.txt | 72 - tools/patman/test_checkpatch.py | 526 --- tools/patman/test_common.py | 254 -- tools/patman/test_cseries.py | 3684 ----------------- tools/patman/test_settings.py | 67 - 41 files changed, 134 insertions(+), 13433 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .patman-defaults delete mode 120000 doc/develop/patman.rst delete mode 120000 tools/patman/README.rst delete mode 100644 tools/patman/checkpatch.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/cmdline.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/control.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/cser_helper.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/cseries.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/database.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/func_test.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/patchwork.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/patman.rst delete mode 100644 tools/patman/project.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/pyproject.toml delete mode 100644 tools/patman/pytest.ini delete mode 100644 tools/patman/requirements.txt delete mode 100644 tools/patman/send.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/setup.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/status.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test/0000-cover-letter.patch delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test/0001-pci-Correct-cast-for-sandbox.patch delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test/0002-fdt-Correct-cast-for-sandbox-in-fdtdec_setup_mem_siz.patch delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test/test01.txt delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test_checkpatch.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test_common.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test_cseries.py delete mode 100644 tools/patman/test_settings.py --- base-commit: 2569e25ddd5aa323cd87c7a3819c3a4f4b32302f branch: patm2 -- 2.43.0
