The glibc maintainers have been experimenting to see if it can meet their needs, and they've very kindly added GDB to their test instance to allow us to trial it too. The way it works is that patches sent to gdb-patches are caught by Patchwork and appear on a web page, currently http://patchwork.siddhesh.in/. Replies to patch emails are also caught, and are appended to the patch pages. The prototype workflow the glibc maintainers are using is https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Patch%20Review%20Workflow. If you'd like to have a go with the trial instance please register an account on http://patchwork.siddhesh.in/ and then get hold of me by email or on IRC (I'm gbenson on Freenode) and I'll add you to the maintainers list. You won't be able to update anything without this. Patchwork has been subscribed to gdb-patches for a couple of weeks now, but I haven't updated any patches' statuses so there will be some stale ones in there. Please feel free to update patches as you see fit, this is a trial instance so don't worry about breaking things! As well as the web interface there is a command line client. You can download the client script and a sample ~/.pwclientrc from here: http://patchwork.siddhesh.in/project/binutils-gdb/ The ~/.pwclientrc file just needs your password adding, then you can do things like: pwclient list -s new to see a list of all patches with the state "new". Let me know what you think! Thanks, Gary -- http://gbenson.net/
