Request to host linux-mediatek mailinglist

[mbgg]

Hi,

I would love to see the linux-mediatek mailinglist being hosted at patchew.org
You can subscribe to the list here:
https://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mediatek

If possible I'd like to have compile tests enabled. If that's fine for you I'd need to know what kind of container you use for the tests to provide a script to test-compile the kernel.

Thanks for your consideration!

Now I'm working on a new importer script, I will also look into adding all LKML patches to patchew.org.

For tests, the recommended way is to integrated CI from gitlab.com or github.com, but I know that is not straightforward for kernel. So maybe it should be the other way around: let me know your test requirements and I can see if we can meet it. Docker based would be ideal.

@dcaratti is running tests using GitHub CI I think, is that correct?

for MPTCP we are running Cirrus CI triggered by a webhook on the github repo. The only limitation is, github doesn't support push options. So, to avoid re-running the CI for every message that is in-reply-to a patch that has been already imported, we applied the following workaround:

diff --git a/patchew-cli b/patchew-cli

Hi, you can already get LKML patches via something like https://patchew.org/search?q=project:linux+to:linux-mediatek, but it's a bit slow so we can certainly have a separate subscription for linux-mediatek as well!

Alternatively, we could create you an account that lets you have a "watched search", which in your case would be something like project:linux to:linux-mediatek not:merged. Let me know what you prefer!

I also notice another problem, which is, for example, not all patches on linux-mptcp has linux-kernel@ in the Cc so they don't get indexed by the main LKML public-inbox...

I'm not sure what's the Cc practice on linux-mediatek.

@famz sorry for the very late answer. It's common practice to add linux-mediatek as Cc on mails but not necessarly LKML so it would be great to have them added seperately.
