[PATCH 16/43] docs: xen-tpmfront.txt: convert it to .rst

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In order to be able to add this file to the security book,
we need first to convert it to reST.

While this is not part of any book, mark it as :orphan:, in order
to avoid build warnings.
