b4 tool integration with virtio spec patches
Hi All,  short summary: virtio-dev and virtio-comment mailing lists are also now accessible at [1] and [2] to use with b4 tool [3].  OASIS lists are equally accessible as before.  [1]  https://lore.kernel.org/virtio-dev/  [2]  https://lore.kernel.org/virtio-comment/  [3]  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/b4/b4.git
Details: We now have virtio-dev [1] and virtio-comment [2] mailing list accessible at lore.kernel.org for read access.  This is in addition to they are being available at existing  https://lists.oasis-open.org . Nothing changes for subscription etc at OASIS site.  Web user interface of [1] and [2] is limited compared to OASIS one. For example, it doesn't show date/month wise emails like oasis list shows. But the additional web interface provides different benefit.  The benefit is : it enables virtio spec devel workflow integration with tools like b4 [3]. This enables to do some automation and shared development for patches occur on dev & comment lists.  1. Anyone can now download and apply virtio spec patches with just 2 commands. 2. Acked-by, Reviewed-by etc tags automatically apply when used using b4. 3. Enables shared development  Please use it as you find it useful. Thanks a lot, to Michael and Cornelia who dig their history emails, due to which history could be preserved at new platform.  How to use it: (a) Install b4 tool $ yum/apt install -y b4  (b) Find the message id of the patch series of cover-letter (or of the first patch)  (c) Download virtio spec patch series locally $ b4 am  
For example, above is the message id of Michael's AQ series.  (d) Apply the patches to local git tree. $ git am <saved_file.mbox>  Regards, Parav Pandit
