Patchtest

Patchtest is a tool designed for improving the quality of Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded contributors' patch submissions, while simultaneously reducing the level of review effort required from project maintainers. It does this by providing a set of scripts that users can test their patches with prior to submission ("host" mode), and which can be used as part of an automated service that provides periodic feedback for patches received by Patchwork ("guest" mode).

Using Patchtest

See the patchtest README for instructions on how to use patchtest in your local workspace, and the meta-patchtest README for details on host mode setup.

Patchtest Feedback Guidelines

The patchtest feedback email is designed to provide concise instructions when one or more of the tests has failed, but additional information on specific failures is provided below:

FAIL: test shortlog length: Edit shortlog so that it is 90 characters or less (currently X characters)
