Rudi maintains it I think (cc'ed) I don't think there are patches to the kernel, but there is some minor magic in the rpm spec file http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/src/kernel-docs-2.6.22.5-31.src.rpm In particular I added some code to remove some pages I considered not useful for an "outside" kernel developer. Perhaps doing that would be a good idea for the mainline kernel too (or perhaps just have different makefile targets). I don't think it is very useful to have pages just describing 100% internal interfaces of some driver for example. The kernel doc stuff should rather contain widely used interfaces that are EXPORT_SYMBOLed. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
