Trivial Patches
|
|
|
|
|
===============

Overview
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trivial patches that change just a few lines of code sometimes languish
|
|
|
|
|
on the mailing list even though they require only a small amount of
|
|
|
|
|
review. This is often the case for patches that do not fall under an
|
|
|
|
|
actively maintained subsystem and therefore fall through the cracks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The trivial patches team take on the task of reviewing and building pull
|
|
|
|
|
requests for patches that:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Do not fall under an actively maintained subsystem.
|
|
|
|
|
- Are single patches or short series (max 2-4 patches).
|
|
|
|
|
- Only touch a few lines of code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**You should hint that your patch is a candidate by CCing
|
|
|
|
|
qemu-trivial@nongnu.org.**

Repositories
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the trivial patch team rotates maintainership there is only one
|
|
|
|
|
active repository at a time:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- git://github.com/vivier/qemu.git trivial-patches - `browse <https://github.com/vivier/qemu/tree/trivial-patches>`__

|
Workflow
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The trivial patches team rotates the duty of collecting trivial patches
|
|
|
|
|
amongst its members. A team member's job is to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Identify trivial patches on the development mailing list.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Review trivial patches, merge them into a git tree, and reply to state
|
|
|
|
|
that the patch is queued.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Send pull requests to the development mailing list once a week.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A single team member can be on duty as long as they like. The suggested
|
|
|
|
|
time is 1 week before handing off to the next member.
