First take a look at: $ git help format-patch $ git help send-email Assuming you have basic familarity with git, the typical workflow would be something like this. # create a patch series of the commits in the current branch that are # not in origin/master $ mkdir patches $ git format-patch -o patches/ -M --cover-letter origin/master # Edit the cover letter to describe your patch series $ edit patches/0000* # Send the patch series $ git send-email --to maintainer@xxxxxxxxxx --cc list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx patches/ > How to send version's of these patches. # Fix up review comments $ git commit -m "roll back into patch foo" $ git rebase -i origin/master # Re-order and squash the fix with patch foo > How to resend these patches. # Make v2 patch series $ git format-patch -o patches/ -M --cover-letter -v 2 origin/master # Make new cover-letter with description of changes in v2 $ edit patches/0000* # Good practice to also mention the v2 change in the patches you fixed $ edit patches/*foo*.patch Repeat steps above. -- Shawn _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
