Howdy:
I could swear this worked the last time I sent patches to the OE list (at least it didn't need the gmail insecure app workaround so I guess it was a while ago).
Anyway, the real commit msg starts with ARM, I git format-patch and this time didn't touch the patches, then:
git send-email --to=test@lists.denx.de --confirm=always -M -1 --subject-prefix="U-Boot][PATCH v3" outgoing/*
You should *not* add the [U-Boot] tag to the message, this is done by the mailinglist software.
The wiki states to use: $> git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH v2"
Current git allows a simpler variant, "--reroll-count", or short "-v": $> git format-patch -v 2
"git send-email" has no "--subject-prefix" nor "-M" nor "-<n>" option. Just use $> git send-email --to=<xxx> --cc <yyy> outgoing/*
Formatting and sending patches are two independent steps. You can't apply/copy options from one command to the other.
Prior to sending the patch, you *should* edit the 0000-cover-letter.patch.
Kind regards,
