Download patch from email.

Hi All,

I debug a bit more on the patchwork "pwclient" approach.


https://patchwork.kernel.org/help/pwclient/

Here are steps how to setup.

Download the ".pwclientrc" from the project dir you want to download patches from.

For example I downloaded from the following link.


https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-samsung-soc/

After that I checkout the "git clone git://ozlabs.org/home/jk/git/patchwork"

ubuntu at arm:~/study/patchwork$ ./apps/patchwork/bin/pwclient list -n 4
ID      State        Name
--      -----        ----
2076111 New          [v2] ARM: dts: Add node for GMAC for exynos5440
2076251 New          ARM: S3C24XX: Remove plat-s3c24xx directory in arch/arm/
2076701 New          ARM: EXYNOS5: Fix PMU register configuration for local power blocks
2079361 New          [v3,1/5] ARM: dts: Add FIMD node to exynos4


Now if I can download the patch with respect to id's

ubuntu at arm:~/study/patchwork$ ./apps/patchwork/bin/pwclient get 2079361
Saved patch to v3-1-5-ARM-dts-Add-FIMD-node-to-exynos4.patch
ubuntu at arm:~/study/patchwork$


After this we can use git am command to apply the patch.

This seams to easy approach to me.

Ah, I knew about '|' but I did not know that git am can read from stdin
as well, nice!

Yes, I do that when I am not on my computer... I think all webmail
clients I have used do have a 'Show original' (or similar) option whose
text you can just copy paste.


Cheers,
