Just had a chat with Lars on IRC, which might be of common
interest (and Lars asked me to post it to xen-devel):
(17:00:16) juergen_gross: lars_kurth: any idea why
./scripts/add_maintainers.pl would add a "Cc:" without a mail address to
a patch? Happened e.g. in my series "[PATCH v2 0/9] xen: scheduler
cleanups" (cover-letter, patches 1, 2, 7 and 9)
(17:01:58) lars_kurth: juergen_gross: oh, an actual bug! Let me look at
the code
(17:02:19) lars_kurth: juergen_gross: is it missing some e-mails?
(17:02:34) juergen_gross: git send-email seems to remove those empty Cc:
lines
(17:02:53) juergen_gross: I'm not aware of a mail address missing. Let
me double check
(17:06:56) juergen_gross: lars_kurth: hmm, shouldn't the MAINTAINERS
entry "L: DornerWorks Xen-Devel <xen-de...@dornerworks.com>" result
in a Cc:?
(17:08:17) lars_kurth: Let me have a look
(17:13:16) juergen_gross: lars_kurth: at least the related file is
touched exactly by the affected patches (and not by any not affected patch)
(17:13:36) lars_kurth: Looking at the series the most likely cause of
this is the L: entry - need to look at the code
(17:15:21) lars_kurth: juergen_gross: it's also an odd one because it
changes MAINTAINERS and renames a lot of files, which may be the cause
for the empty spaces
(17:15:52) juergen_gross: lars_kurth: in Linux MAINTAINERS all "L:"
entries just have a mail address as first word after the "L:" (not "bla
bla <addr@domain>")
(17:16:11) lars_kurth: Ah yes: let me look at that code
(17:21:29) lars_kurth: juergen_gross: I think that is in fact the issue
(17:27:16) lars_kurth: juergen_gross: I can't fix this with some
debugging. Could you copy this conversation into a mail on xen-devel@
such that I remember
(17:27:43) lars_kurth: uergen_gross: with=without
(17:29:36) lars_kurth: juergen_gross: I think what happens is that
get_maintainer.pl and add_maintainer.pl process these lines differently,
but add_maintainer.pl also checks against output created from
get_maintainer.pl
(17:44:58) juergen_gross: lars_kurth: what about doing it the easy way?
With a modifed MAINTAINERS file (using "L: xen-de...@dornerworks.com")
everything is fine. I can send a patch in case you agree.
(17:46:41) lars_kurth: juergen_gross: let's do that first, but I still
would like to fix the underlying issue at some point - asking for you to
send the IRC log, as I cleared my history by mistake (when I was typing
a reply I slipped from shift to ctrl, which did it)
Juergen
