Description Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-07-14 20:59:29 UTC
It is pretty common to see patches on the wrong list (bitbake patches sent to oe-core ML or meta related patches sent to bitbake ML). This check can be done on the patchtest test suite.
Comment 1 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-10-27 21:40:33 UTC
Currently, patchtest is only monitoring oe-core, which means that patch basenames must start with 'meta' or 'scripts'. However, for the latter, some patches can either go to oe-core or poky. Before implementing the bug, we need to have this mapping clear (scripts files --> project).
Comment 2 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-10-31 16:55:12 UTC
One extra check: if shortlog has a sub string including a targeted non-meta layer, this would intermediately indicate that it was sent to the wrong list.

For example:

Comment 3 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2017-01-25 17:51:18 UTC
This check is important because quite often contributors send patches to the wrong list. Raising the importance (from M to M+) and should be ready by M3.
Comment 4 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2017-02-08 20:44:58 UTC
bug 10688 covers this case and also provides to the user the correct list (if found) so making this one as duplicated.
