2016-02-09get_maintainer.pl: fall back to git if only lists are foundPaolo Bonzini
It's not 100% obvious to project newcomers that all patches should be sent there; checkpatch doesn't say so, and since it mentions other lists to CC, the wording "the list" from the SubmitAPatch wiki page can be taken to mean only those lists, not the main list too. We would like therefore to add a catch-all entry for qemu-devel@nongnu.org. On its own, this would break fallback to git, because now every file has a maintainer of sorts. Modify get_maintainer.pl so that mailing lists (L: lines) no longer prevent the fallback, only humans (M: entries). Several pre-existing entries have a list but no human. These now fall back to git. That's a feature.

2015-09-25get_maintainer.pl: \C is deprecatedPaolo Bonzini
"Match a single C-language char (octet) even if that is part of a larger UTF-8 character. Thus it breaks up characters into their UTF-8 bytes, so you may end up with malformed pieces of UTF-8." Just use a period instead. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2014-10-23get_maintainer.pl: restrict cases where it falls back to --gitPaolo Bonzini
The list emitted by --git-fallback often leads inexperienced contributors to add pointless CCs. While not discouraging usage of --git-fallback, we want to: 1) disable the fallback if only some files lack a maintainer $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c hw/ide/core.c Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com> (odd fixer:IDE) Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> (odd fixer:IDE) This behavior is taken even if --git-fallback is specified. 2) warn the contributors about what we're doing, asking them to use their common sense: $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c get_maintainer.pl: No maintainers found, printing recent contributors. get_maintainer.pl: Do not blindly cc: them on patches! Use common sense. Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> (commit_signer:1/2=50%) ... $ Explicitly disabling the fallback will not result in the warning message: $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f util/cutils.c --no-git-fallback $ echo $? 0 (Returning 1 would break usage of scripts/get_maintainer.pl as a cccmd for git-send-email).

2014-10-23get_maintainer.pl: move git loop under "if ($email) {"Paolo Bonzini
All checks in the loop are guarded by that condition, and there is a handy "if" just below. Simplify the code. Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2013-10-11Use qemu-project.org domain nameStefan Hajnoczi
qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will point to it! The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori <anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already references qemu-project.org. Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet. Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org. Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are using the latest URLs: $ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes $ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories $ git submodule update --init Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-id: 1381495958-8306-1-git-send-email-stefanha@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@amazon.com>
