Help Sending Patch Series

Help Sending Patch Series

[Lee Thompson]

Hi All,

I've got a patch series made up for adding parinfer-rust-mode[1] to
Guix.  I'm following the instructions on the info page "Sending a Patch
Series".  I've sent off my cover letter patch to debbugs though after
around half a day I've received no issue number reply to send the rest
of my patches to.

I've tried a few times and I can see that the email has been sent by
Gmail, but still nothing.  I've even tried manually constructing and
sending the cover letter email with Gnus.  I can't find any info online
of how long this issue number reply is expected to take, is this normal
or have I made a mistake somewhere?

Apologies also if this isn't strictly a 'user help' topic, I wasn't sure
where would be more appropriate to post to.

Thanks!

The email should be sent to you pretty soon since your cover letter is 
sent. Which address did you send your email to?

Is this the first patch you send to Guix?

I don't know if that address is also moderated, it might be, si maybe 
it's that?

Ekaitz I've replied to you just a minute ago without CCing
the mailing list, my apologies for the double reply.

I sent this to guix-patches@debbugs.gnu.org like so:
```
git send-email outgoing/0000-cover-letter.patch -a \
    --to=guix-patches@debbugs.gnu.org \
           $(etc/teams.scm cc mentors)
```

Indeed

You could be right, I've just noticed this in the "Submitting Patches"
info page:

It should be guix-patches@gnu.org, not @debbugs.gnu.org

Okay I think I've found the source of the issue, it looks like I've read
some slightly older documentation that says to send to
guix-patches@gnu.org but includes an example command to send to
guix-patches@debbugs.gnu.org.

This is the HTML version of the info page I was working against:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Sending-a-Patch-Series.html#Multiple-Patches-1

and this is the latest which appears to be fixed:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Sending-a-Patch-Series.html#Multiple-Patches-1

I'll now try sending the cover letter to guix-patches@gnu.org, thanks!
