Hi all, We're doing several changes on our maintainership process, aiming to provide better handling of patches. Several changes will be happening along the time. We'll be keeping you updated about such changes. The first phase was already implemented: In the past, we were hosting two separate trees (media_stage and media_tree). We opted to unify them and name it as just media.git. Such tree is at: git://linuxtv.org/media.git https://linuxtv.org/git/media.git/ https://git.linuxtv.org/media.git/ It contains two branches: next - Patches for the next Kernel version fixes - Fix patches for the current Kernel version The legacy trees still exist and are now updated on every couple of minutes to be in sync with media.git. Both trees have two branches as well (master and fixes). We don't intend to keep them forever, so please update your remote repositories to point to media.git. We also updated https://git.linuxtv.org/media.git/ to make the old trees invisible. So, right now, the only visible Linux Media tree is "media.git". The Jenkins CI jobs are already using the new repository. Another change that already happened is with regards to CI: we're now using a gitlab-based CI that has been checking patches before we merge at media.git. There are two different test sets there: 1. test patches we intend to merge at media.git; 2. test patches sent to the mailing list. for (2), you can now see a new column at patchwork.linuxtv.org with S/W/F (success/warning/failure). And opening a patch, like: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20240930-cocci-opportunity-v1-45-81e137456ce0@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ There is a check table with: Checks Context Check Description ============================ ============ =========== media-ci/HTML_report success Link media-ci/report success Link media-ci/virtme32 success Link media-ci/virtme64 success Link media-ci/bisect success Link media-ci/doc success Link media-ci/build success Link media-ci/static-upstream fail Link media-ci/abi success Link media-ci/media-patchstyle success Link media-ci/checkpatch fail Link Details can be obtained by clicking at the Link. Btw, media-ci nos has support to provide feedback via e-mail to the patch sender in case of errors. Thanks, Mauro
