I am having some trouble replying and comment on threads in the Linux Kernel Mailing List, I have submitted some patches and then I have received some comments from reviews, I tried to reply to them by just prefixing the subject line with "Re:"
I have first I made some changes and commit them using:
git commit -a
then I have formatted the commit using:
git format-patch master..fix-warning
after that I have edit it the output from:
Subject: [PATCH] block: Removed a warning while compiling with a cross compiler for parisc
to:
Subject: Re: [PATCH] block: Removed a warning while compiling with a cross compiler for parisc
after that I have send it using:
git send-email --to [email protected] --cc [email protected] name-of-the-patch.patch
I have allready set up the .gitconfig file with following configuration:
smtpEncryption = ssl
smtpServer = smtp.gmail.com
smtpUser = [email protected]
smtpServerPort = 465
It did not worked and what happened is that instead of replying to the reviewer, I end up creating a new thread in LKML... I know the path that I have taken does not seems right for replying to a commit lol, before doing all that, I looked into the FAQ in LKML website, for how to reply to comments I have not find an answer, I have google it, and also I have not find any answer then I tried to press on "reply all" in Gmail App on apple OS it did not worked too...
could someone please direct me to the correct article which talking about replying and comment in the LKML, or give me some tips! I would appreciate it.
