Configure Gerrit for Patch Review

Registered by Zach Pfeffer

Configure Gerrit for patch review.

We just need to make sure a patch can be reviewed in Gerrit. Auto-merging and auto-validation will be delivered as another step.

Gerrit will be setup on a server and a Git (most likely the manifest gits) will be selected to be managed.

Whiteboard

[pfalcon 2011-07-28] This was implemented, just waiting for someone else to try to post review to Gerrit and approve. Changes which were posted to Gerrit, were reviewed, and then merged: http://android.git.linaro.org/#q,status:merged,n,z . More changes: http://android.git.linaro.org/#q,status:open,n,z . Postponed items were overflowed to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/linaro-android-switch-to-gerrit . (Waiting on RT ticket and more specs from Android team).

Headline:
Gerrit, a change review tool, which is essential part of Android development workflow and best practices, has been set up to track Linaro Android code changes.

Acceptance:
Gerrit is tested for change review for 11.07, ready to be used as code review and hosting system for 11.08 milestone. This BP will be accepted when one change is pushed, reviewed and merged.

Docs are at:
