Hello
Situation: Looking at the content displayed by the web browser for
URL
http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/mesa/series and sub-pages
accessible via the links.
The following questions are troubling me:
- How does a patch submitter know when a reviewer will take a look at
the patch?
- What is the order in which the reviewers are looking at the
patches?
- What is the influence of the default ordering (URL suffix
"?ordering=-last_updated") on the behavior of reviewers?
- What about those patches on the 10th page from previous year? Why
are they in the list?
- Do patch submitters regularly clean up outdated patches?
- Does a patch submitter receive a notification email when he/she
forgets about a patch over time?
It seems to me that the current review process isn't as efficient as
it can be.
Looking forward to your opinions and solutions.
We had a discussion about the use of patchwork around this time last
year [1]. Since then I think we can definitely say people are making
use of patchwork more than before (which was almost never). This is
largely due to the great improvements made by Damien [2].
The take away is patchwork is still a work in progress and as others
have said it is currently useful along side email.
Personally I find it very useful for keeping track of my patches and
think it would be great if others would clean out their old patches to
make it easier to find unreviewed patches,
Is there an easy way to do this?
I just logged in again, went to Series, and was able to filter for mine
- but I see no way to mark series as Done from the site. Going to
individual patches is asking a bit much...
Generally speaking, it would be awesome if Patchwork were better at
identifying trivially modified patches, but I admit that that's tricky
to do.
Cheers,
Nicolai
but this is an open source
project made up of individuals from many different companies as well as
volunteers. I don't think its going to work very well trying to enforce
a centain workflow. In time if patchwork really adds enough value and
becomes easy enough to use I think people will naturally just start
using it more as we have already seen.
