The freedesktop.org edition of patchwork. Patchwork is a web patch tracking system for projects using a mailing list for contributions and reviews.

Patchwork-FDO

The missing link between mailing lists and CI.

Patchwork mainly:

  • picks up emails from the mailing list(s) and organizes them in projects and series
  • exports events through an API for each new series (for CI system consumption)
  • makes patches/series available as downloadable mboxes
  • provides API endpoint for submitting testing results
  • sends those results as a reply to the patch/series on the mailing list

And secondly:

  • provides a Web UI to browse, search and download the patches
  • give means of tracing patches state, from initial submission to acceptance

It supplements mailing lists, not replaces them.

How To?

Check out docs/ directory. You can find more details and installation guide there.

This Is A Fork

FDO flavor of Patchwork was forked quite a while ago due to the original project stagnancy. Since then, the original one picked up on development speed, going in its own direction. You can check it out here: https://github.com/getpatchwork/patchwork.
