Submitting changes via email
With SSO & local accounts, hopefully Tvix provides you a low-friction or
privacy-respecting way to make contributions by means of
TVL’s self-hosted Gerrit. However, if you still decide differently,
you may submit a patch via email to depot@tvl.su where it will be added to
Gerrit by a contributor.
Please keep in mind this process is more complicated requiring extra work from both us & you:
- You will need to manually check the Gerrit website for updates & someone will need to relay potential comments to/from Gerrit to you as you won’t get emails from Gerrit.
- New revisions need to be stewarded by someone uploading changes to Gerrit on your behalf.
- As CLs cannot change owners, if you decide to get a Gerrit account later on existing CLs need to be abandoned then recreated. This introduces more churn to the review process since prior discussion are disconnected.
Create an appropriate commit locally then send it us using either of these options:
git format-patch: This will create a*.patchfile which you should email to us.git send-email: If configured on your system, this will take care of the whole emailing process for you.
The email address is a public inbox.
