Download patch from email.
Hi All, I have configured mutt as email client. https://github.com/narkoleptik/dotfiles/blob/master/.muttrc But my configuration don't allow me to download Linux patch's from email. Please some one could point out the configuration or suggest other email client. -Anand Moon

I use mutt's standard functionality to get patches from emails which I did not have to configure IIRC. Depending on whether the patches have been sent inline (within the email text itself) or attached to the email I use two different methods. Inline patches: I use 'C' (if there are multiple patches you can tag all the mail messages first and then use ';C') to copy all the mail messages to a mailbox file. This mailbox file can then be read by the 'git am' command which applies all the patches (including the commit messages) to your git tree. Attached patches: Select the mail message, click 'v' and save the attached patches to disk with 's'. Hope that helps. I would like to hear if other people have more efficient workflows (using custom scripts for example)! Cheers, Silvan
Hi Silvan, Thanks for your input. I got following link which could be uses full for beginner. `pwclient` can be used for example to retrieve patches, search the queue or update the state. http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Patchwork http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2011/ocw/system/presentations/255/original/... -Anand Moon On Saturday, February 14, 2015 2:38 PM, Silvan Jegen <me@sillymon.ch> wrote: On Sat, Feb 14, 2015 at 03:48:53AM +0000, Anand Moon wrote:

I use "|". $ cd ~/linux-source $ mutt (select email with patch) |git am Git applies the patch to the current directory You could of course pipe to a file with "|cat 001-file.patch" Last note, from gmail, one can use the "show original" menu item, and save/copy-paste the text from there. git am would understand that.

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, Silvan
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@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@arm:~/study/patchwork$ ./apps/patchwork/bin/pwclient get 2079361 Saved patch to v3-1-5-ARM-dts-Add-FIMD-node-to-exynos4.patch ubuntu@arm:~/study/patchwork$ After this we can use git am command to apply the patch. This seams to easy approach to me. -Anand Moon On Sunday, February 15, 2015 3:01 PM, Silvan Jegen <me@sillymon.ch> wrote: On Sun, Feb 15, 2015 at 08:11:51AM +0200, Elazar Leibovich wrote:
