HOWTO integrate the checkpatch script into Claws Mail (or Sylpheed)
scripts/checkpatch.pl is very useful for catching coding style violations. Quoting from Documentation/SubmittingPatches, the patch sender "should be able to justify all violations that remain in the patch."
If you intend to send or review patches with Claws Mail (or Sylpheed), it's quite easy to use this script from the message view.
1. Create an action:
Configuration > Actions...
Menu name: checkpatch
Command: /usr/src/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl %f (X) Shell command
Add.
Alternatively, just add
checkpatch: /usr/src/linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl %f
to .claws-mail/actionsrc
2. Optionally, add a toolbar button:
Configuration > Preferences...
Toolbars > Main Window
Item type: User Action
Event executed on click: checkpatch
Add some nice icon, then
Add.
Move it up/down to a convenient location on the toolbar, maybe add an additional separator.
Now you can check an inline patch in a selected message with a single mouse click.
When sending a patch, you can first put the message into the queue folder, check it there, then send the queued messages.
