tools, scripts: refactor error-out statements of Python scripts

2014-08-21T16:01:11+00:00

In Python, sys.exit() function can also take an object other
than an integer.

If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return
code of it.  If a non-integer argument is given, Python outputs it
to stderr and exits with the return code of 1.

That means,

    print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah"
    sys.exit(1)

is equivalent to

    sys.exit("Blah Blah")

The latter is a useful shorthand.

Note:
Some error messages in Buildman and Patman were output to stdout.
But they should go to stderr.  They are also fixed by this commit.
This is a nice side effect.

patman: Fix up checkpatch parsing to deal with 'CHECK' lines

2013-04-04T21:04:34+00:00

checkpatch has a new type of warning, a 'CHECK'. At present patman fails
with these, which makes it less than useful.

Add support for checks, making it backwards compatible with the old
checkpatch.

At the same time, clean up formatting of the CheckPatches() output,
fix erroneous "internal error" if multiple patches have warnings and
be more robust to new types of problems.

patman: Allow use outside of u-boot tree

2013-01-31T23:23:40+00:00

To make it usable in git trees not providing a patch checker
implementation, add a command line option, allowing to suppress patch
check. While we are at it, sort debug options alphabetically.

Also, do not raise an exception if checkpatch.pl is not found - just
print an error message suggesting to use the new option, and return
nonzero status.

   . unit test passes:
    $ ./patman  -t
    
   . successfully used patman in the autotest tree to generate a patch
     email (with --no-check option)
   . successfully used patman in the u-boot tree to generate a patch
     email
   . `patman --help' now shows command line options ordered
     alphabetically

patman: Look for checkpatch in the scripts directory

2013-01-31T23:23:39+00:00

The Linux kernel stores checkpatch.pl in the scripts directory.  Add
that to the search path to make things more automatic for kernel
development.

patman: Handle checkpatch.pl not providing file/line info

2012-10-15T18:54:04+00:00

Sometimes we don't get a valid filename or line number from checkpatch.pl,
for example if the patch is in a bad format. Deal with this by using a
default value, rather than a stack trace.

Add 'patman' patch generation, checking and submission script

2012-04-21T15:26:17+00:00

What is this?

=============

This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people

It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.

It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:

in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.

See the README file for full details.
