Hi,
we have the first round of contributions through Gerrit and maybe now is a good time to look at the mail setup. My goal was to:
* Have diff's/patches be sent to the MailingList to see what is going on * Have comments be sent to the MailingList to have people learn from feedback
In terms of technology Gerrit offers us the following notifications[1]
new_changes Somebody created a new change new_patchsets Somebody updated/added a patch(set) to a change all_comments Somebody but jenkins commented submitted_changes Somebody has pushed the submit button and it is in abandoned_changes Somebody gave up on the change all Everything
Currently we are using "all" and maybe we want to limit it to "new_patchsets" and "all_comments". "all_comments" is a bit troublesome as it includes empty messages like "+2" with actual review comments.
What would be the close to ideal solution?
* Be able to reply by mail to changes (most likely not to come) * Mails sent have the author name as From (but gerrit mail address)? * Empty mails like "+2" not sent to the Mailinglist? * Subject changed? [PATCH] and omit branch name? Or omit project name?
Other proposals? Move it to a new mailinglist and leave OpenBSC as low-volume mailinglist?
comments? feedback? ideas?
