I have a couple of specific comments for this one that may well apply to the others as well. 1) Is samples the right destination for these utilities? Some of them might well be better placed under tools/ instead. I'm not sure we've ever formally stated the purpose of those two subtrees; I see samples/ as demonstrations of how to use something, while tools/ are utilities you might actually want to use for some purpose. Something like getdelays might well fall into the latter group. But maybe others disagree? 2) Tools like getdelays are referenced in the documents that have been left behind; see accounting/delay-accounting.txt, for example. Those documents should be updated so that readers know where to find the referenced programs, wherever they end up. Converting them to Sphinx while you're at it is an extra-credit exercise :) Thanks, jon -- 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
