This script, and its companion library, is more-or-less Buildroot's equivalent to the kernel get_maintainer.pl script: it allows to get the list of developers to whom a set of patches should be sent to. To do so, it first relies on a text file, named DEVELOPERS, at the root of the Buildroot source tree (added in a followup commit) to list the developers and the files they are interested in. The DEVELOPERS file's format is simple: N: Firstname Lastname <email> F: path/to/file F: path/to/another/file This allows to associate developers with the files they are looking after, be they related to a package, a defconfig, a filesystem image, a package infrastructure, the documentation, or anything else. When a directory is given, the tool assumes that the developer handles all files and subdirectories in this directory. For example "package/qt5/" can be used for the developers looking after all the Qt5 packages. Conventional shell patterns can be used, so "package/python-*" can be used for the developers who want to look after all packages matching "python-*". A few files are recognized specially: - .mk files are parsed, and if they contain $(eval $(<something>-package)), the developer is assumed to be looking after the corresponding package. This way, autobuilder failures for this package can be reported directly to this developer. - arch/Config.in.<arch> files are recognized as "the developer is looking after the <arch> architecture". In this case, get-developer parses the arch/Config.in.<arch> to get the list of possible BR2_ARCH values. This way, autobuilder failures for this package can be reported directly to this developer. - pkg/pkg-<infra>.mk are recognized as "the developer is looking after the <infra> package infrastructure. In this case, any patch that adds or touches a .mk file that uses this infrastructure will be sent to this developer. Examples of usage: $ ./support/scripts/get-developers 0001-ffmpeg-fix-bfin-build.patch git send-email--to buildroot@buildroot.org --to "Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>" --to "Bernd Kuhls <bernd.kuhls@t-online.de>" $ ./support/scripts/get-developers -p imx-lib Arnout Vandecappelle <arnout@mind.be> Gary Bisson <gary.bisson@boundarydevices.com> $ ./support/scripts/get-developers -a bfin Waldemar Brodkorb <wbx@openadk.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Reviewed-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <arnout@mind.be> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com> |
