| | Moved at https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/trivial-patches.html |
| Trivial patches that change just a few lines of code sometimes languish on the mailing list even though they require only a small amount of review. This is often the case for patches that do not fall under an actively maintained subsystem and therefore fall through the cracks.
| |
| | |
| The '''trivial patches team''' take on the task of reviewing and building pull requests for patches that:
| |
| * Do not fall under an actively maintained subsystem.
| |
| * Are single patches or short series (max 2-4 patches).
| |
| * Only touch a few lines of code.
| |
| | |
| '''You should hint that your patch is a candidate by CCing qemu-trivial@nongnu.org'''.
| |
| | |
| = Repositories =
| |
| | |
| Since the trivial patch team rotates maintainership there is only one active repository at a time:
| |
| | |
| * git://git.corpit.ru/qemu.git trivial-patches - [http://git.corpit.ru/?p=qemu.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/trivial-patches browse]
| |
| * git://github.com/vivier/qemu.git trivial-patches - [https://github.com/vivier/qemu/tree/trivial-patches browse]
| |
| | |
| = Workflow =
| |
| | |
| The trivial patches team rotates the duty of collecting trivial patches amongst its members. A team member's job is to:
| |
| # Identify trivial patches on the development mailing list.
| |
| # Review trivial patches, merge them into a git tree, and reply to state that the patch is queued.
| |
| # Send pull requests to the development mailing list once a week.
| |
| | |
| A single team member can be on duty as long as they like. The suggested time is 1 week before handing off to the next member.
