It's not really a mess: it must have been quite a pain to put the mails together manually And it would become more painful for a second revision I have been through this myself > But, let me ask first before reading the wikis, how do you prefer submitting > series that contain patches belonging to 2 distinct repos (e.g. xen and > livepatch-build-tools)? That's a good question and a very rare use-case. We split them, as all the tools such as git format-patch only work on one repo Applying patches also only works on a per repo basis So, I would send two series. But mention the relationship in the cover letter (and/or patch if it is a single one) The tools in the docs currently may not work on livepatch-build-tools.git * First: there is no MAINTAINERS file in livepatch-build-tools.git, which really should be added * Second: using xen.git:/scripts/add_maintainers.pl may not work when called from within livepatch-build-tools.git I am going to play with this and update the docs and if needed the tools accordingly You may have to improvise in the meantime: * Step 1 & 3 will work: Step 2, option 1 will probably not (which means until I have done this, you may have to follow option 2 and make sure that the right people are CC'ed) You can also use: https://patchew.org/Xen/ <https://patchew.org/Xen/>, https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/xen-devel/list/ <https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/xen-devel/list/> or https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/ <https://lore.kernel.org/xen-devel/> to track some of the changes. I have not had time to add this to the docs yet Lars > > Best Regards, > Pawel Wieczorkiewicz > > > >> On 15.
