Bug 94853

Hi Frank,

I just made modifications to Product and Component sections so that the relevant people will handle the freedesktop.org account registration process.
If you do not do this, you will get ignored by the freedesktop.org admins.

Dear freedesktop.org administrator,

Ran "Frank" Huang has been working on mainlining KMS supporting DRM module for VIA Technologies OpenChrome DDX (VIA Technologies is not affiliated with this project.) for more than a month.
He did most of the code analysis to figure out why the new VIA DRM was leaving a warning message inside dmesg.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94473

I was more familiar with the VIA hardware, so I proposed the solution to fix this bug, and did the commit because he did not have a commit privilege.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/drm-openchrome/commit/?id=5fe39db5a18918b591fcfb822c3dc3e7e4072fdf

This fix happened relatively quickly because he did most of the analysis part, and based on his contribution, I think he should be granted a commit privilege for OpenChrome DDX and drm-openchrome repositories.

Sincerely,

Kevin Brace
OpenChrome Project Maintainer

Hi Kevin,

  Thanks. I see your modifications on that. And I appreciate your help on this thread! From that wiki page, it need this process to make admins see it.

Thanks,
Frank

By the way, I prefer to use my personal email box: huangranbj@126.com instead of my company's old email in the future to work on OpenChrome.

Thanks,
Frank

Done, should be active in ~20 minutes.

Thanks Martin for your approval. So besides a specific commit, how to validate it is working now?

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Martin,

  I just gave a try with http://people.freedesktop.org website, but there is nothing shown on my browser.
  I will do double confirmation with Kevin on this.

Thanks,
Frank

I meant, connecting to people.freedesktop.org with ssh:

ssh huangran@people.freedesktop.org

Hi Martin,

  Okay, understood.
  I just give a try and see I can log in people.freedesktop.org with ssh protocol successfully. And I can use scp command to transfer a file to my private space on freedesktop.
  Thanks!

Frank

Hi Martin/Kevin,

  Today I use "git push origin master" command to push one of my patch to remote drm-openchrome, I got an error with following:
    "fatal: remote error: access denied or repository not exported: /openchrome/drm-openchrome"
  and my git config looks like as below:
    
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
        url = git://anongit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/drm-openchrome
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master
----------------------------------------------------------------------

  And as you have told me before, the ssh connection to "people.freedesktop.org" is working fine.
  So is there something wrong with my patch commit?

Thanks,
Frank

Check my Bug 94528 comment #23.

Hi Martin/Kevin,

  The patch has been committed to remote drm-openchrome with the help of Kevin. But I still have one question about my name.
  Right now, I see: 
     https://cgit.freedesktop.org/openchrome/drm-openchrome/commit/?id=72610a391a7d9b72011a41c190caaa51cb471e7d
  It shows the name is "HuangRan", and it does not split my first name and my family name, I want to change it to "Huang Ran" so how to change the name of it?

Thanks,
Frank

What is your first name and your family name? Sorry about this, but I really have no idea if Ran is your first name or family name :s

I set it up for Huang being your first name and Ran your family name.

In any case, I am pretty sure that you misconfigured git. What is the output of:
git config --global -l
and git config -l (when being in the git repo of drm-openchrome)

Hi Martin,

  Huang is my family name and Ran is my first name actually. My "git confg -l" result is as below:
         user.name=HuangRan
         user.email=huangranbj@126.com
         core.editor=vim
         sendemail.smtpserver=smtp.126.com
         sendemail.smtpserverport=25
         sendemail.smtpencryption=tls
         sendemail.smtpuser=huangranbj@126.com
  So I think I need change my user.name to "Huang Ran"(In Eastern, we put family name first), right?
  And if there is anything else you can do some settings for me?

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Martin,

Since the question raised by Martin touches upon cultural issues, I will like to be as respectful as possible to people from different parts of the world.
I think the best solution I came up with was with Bug 94473 Comment #55.

"(Last Name), (First Name)"

So it will look like,

"Huang, Ran"

I think this is the closest in the Western world I can think of (I am trying to not engage in cultural imperialism.).
I have seen some open source commit authors who did use the above format and they had Chinese names.
Anyway, here is a background on people with Chinese names.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_given_name

I hope this issue gets resolved to everyone's satisfaction soon.

Yes, you need to change the name to whatever you prefer.

There are no universal conventions for the order, however, the US style is definitely: First name family name. So I would advise you to use "Ran Huang". In France, you would be right that family name would come first.

>   And if there is anything else you can do some settings for me?

I updated our LDAP with the right order. However, just fixing your user.name is enough to get the newer commit with the right name displayed in cgit.

There is nothing else I can do for the commit that is already there, so I will just close the bug now.

Actually I am Chinese, so I prefer to use "Huang Ran" because in tradition, we put family name first which is similar as France. 
So I have changed my user.name in my git config. Right now it looks like:

user.name =Huang, Ran

So can you fix the name to "Huang, Ran" in LDAP?
My understanding is that after my change in git config setting and your fix in LDAP, my next commit will be with my right name of "Huang Ran".

That is fine with "HuangRan" with my old commits.

Thanks,
Frank

The fix in LDAP really was for our internal use only, it is never visible. If you want to have the name "Huang Ran" to be seen in cgit, you need to set your user name to "Huang Ran" and not "Huang, Ran".

You should really read up on git and cgit. Freedesktop.org does nothing in particular here, you have full control of everything.

I will:). Appreciate much for your help here.
