I've been using the sendemail.cc config as well, but unfortunately it is not used by stgit. If you use stgit to send patches you'll have to copy /usr/share/stgit/templates/patchmail.tmpl to ~/.stgit and add a 'CC: patches@linaro.org' line to it.

Actually, a custom patchmail.tmpl has to be under ~/.stgit/templates and not ~/.stgit.

I guess we should add these two tips to one of the pages under https://wiki.linaro.org/Mentoring/Git/. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Hi,

We're required to cc patches@linaro.org for all patches that we send upstream. bzr/launchpad users are already covered or will be shortly.

For those using git-send-email to send patches (and you really should be), it might make sense to use the following command so you don't forget

$ git config --global --add sendemail.bcc "patches@linaro.org"

Check $HOME/.gitconfig to make sure you see "bcc = patches@linaro.org" under the [sendemail] section. WARNING - this will bcc patches@linaro.org on all patches from that machine sent using git-send-email.

If you want more control, and your linaro work happens in a single git tree, you could do the following:

$ cd <your linaro git tree> $ git config --add sendemail.bcc "patches@linaro.org"

Check <your linaro git tree>/.git/config for the bcc entry as above. Now patches send from that tree will be bcc'ed to patches@linaro.

/Amit p.s. There is also a sendemail.cc instead of sendemail.bcc in case you want to use that.
