Linux Kernel Development Diary 4

Fifth and Sixth Tutorials

These two tutorials took place on 03/25, comprising how to send patches to the Linux Kernel via email (the official way to do so) using kw and git-email.
The fifth was a read-only tutorial, explaining how the patches are sent and processed. The sixth, although, was a practical tutorial on sending patches using the USP email.

Due to the attacks on the USP servers last year, it is difficult to send patches using this email. Therefore, we had to set a series of procedures to do so. We has to setup a docker container and authentication procedures using OAuth2. It was kind of surprising having to do such a complex setup to send emails, but it went alright, without problems.
