Personally I appreciate a cover letter even if it consists only of: - public repo / branch reference - one sentence on the goal - a CC list - cumulative diffstat
It helps a lot with grouping emails too. > From what I gather, you don't find this script useful, That's correct. I prefer to use the "build" utility directly, and I set it up in every situation where it is needed specifically for that situation/environment. I have a number of scripts around "build". Regarding testing / launching QEMU, for years I've considered the QEMU command line a computer-only interface. I do 99% of my testing via libvirt, and for the remaining 1%, I have humongous hand-written command lines, stashed in a bunch of scripts. Whenever I have to change to that directory on my laptop, I cringe. It's possible that some "simple" command lines exist for QEMU, but for me they've always turned out deceptive. They are simple to *start*, but soon you find you have to add 7 more options, and now your command line stretches multiple lines in your terminal and it's hard to navigate, so you start writing a script in order to break each option to a separate line with a backslash, but then some individual options are still too long to fit into 80 characters, so you introduce shell variables for abbreviations, etc etc etc grrrrr. :) Libvirt puts all that to rest. > and therefore I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one that uses it. :) I can't tell, but even if you are, that should be no problem! It's just that I might not have much time to review or discuss changes to it. I really dislike this situation, but I'm at the point where I'm practically *stealing* the time to discuss anything that's not directly assigned to me. :( Laszlo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
