Hi Albert,

Hello Simon and the list,
I'm trying to start using patman, and -- probably out of sheer ignorance -- cannot make it work.
I've defined my .patman file with aliases for mvgbe, lacie_kw, arm, arm926ejs etc.
I am trying to generate patches from a local branch (which I have made available on the u-boot-arm repo as 'add-ws-support') which has two commits.
Top commit contains some matman tags, but the error is the without any tag.
The complete error is:
albert@lilith:~/src/u-boot-arm$ tools/patman/patman -n -c2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "tools/patman/patman", line 125, in <module> series = patchstream.GetMetaData(options.start, options.count) File "/home/albert/src/u-boot-arm/tools/patman/patchstream.py", line 352, in GetMetaData ps.ProcessLine(line) File "/home/albert/src/u-boot-arm/tools/patman/patchstream.py", line 190, in ProcessLine self.commit.subject = line AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'subject' albert@lilith:~/src/u-boot-arm$
Can Simon (or someone who's already bumped into this error) tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've had the same issue. Try the --no-tags option. Without that option all tags in the commit summary (e.g. 'arm: some-board: some commit summary') will be parsed which causes several errors.
Thanks for the suggestion.
However, /tools/patman/patman --no-tags -n -c2 gives the same error messages. :(
another workaround you could try is: export LANG=C patman does not work with a default locale other than english
