[OE-core] FW: patchtest: failure

[Alan Levy]

Ross,

Thanks for the advice. What I belatedly realised was that I was using HTML format rather than plain text and that was losing some of the formatting in the process. I re-sent it in plain text and this time it hasn’t been rejected (yet). Also, I wasn’t 100% certain whether the system would accept a patch from an email address that wasn’t the same as the one the patch was signed with. I can’t find any examples in the archive – would it actually work?

Regards

Alan

The patch applies correctly on my Linux development system but I'm having to copy it to a Windows PC and use Outlook to submit it because the Linux system has no access to email. I can only suppose that's why I get these errors. How do I fix this?

Yes, the line endings being changed will be the problem.  You could register a gmail account or similar and send through that (git send-email can talk directly to GMail SMTP).
