So things turn out to be a bit more complicated for libvirt than for
QEMU, because we have one mailing list accepting patches for 10+
different git repositories.
Ah-ha, good point.
Patches has no built-in support for this
model, so you have to create a separate configuration file for each
repo, so that it stores the patches json file separately for each
and then pass that config file when fetching
git clone git://github.com/stefanha/patches.git
REPOS="libvirt libvirt-designer libvirt-glib libvirt-java
libvirt-perl libvirt-php libvirt-python libvirt-sandbox
libvirt-snmp libvirt-tck"
for repo in $REPOS
do
cat > $HOME/.patchesrc-$repo <<EOF
[options]
patches_dir=$HOME/.patches/$repo
[fetch]
url=http://libvirt.org/patches/$repo/patches.json
EOF
Yeah, this nicely solves it currently, thanks for clearly spelling it
out.
How often are the JSON databases updated? Once daily at least, I
presume.
cat > $HOME/bin/patchesrc-$repo <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
exec $HOME/patches/patches --config $HOME/.patchesrc-$repo \$@
EOF
chmod +x $HOME/bin/patchesrc-$repo
done
Now, assuming $HOME/bin is in your $PATH, you can run
$ patches-libvirt fetch
$ patches-libvirt list
Or to look at other repos, eg sandbox
$ patches-libvirt-sandbox fetch
$ patches-libvirt-sandbox list
patchesrc-libvirt-sandbox list

Excellent, I tested with just the libvirt repo, works perfectly well.
Thanks for the quick action!
