I hope mtk will be able to apply it - one thing that is essential is that you sign off your patch, confirming that you are the copyright holder and release your changes under the appropriate licence; sending a Signed-off-by: Jeff FullName <JeffBatHome@xxxxxxxxxxxx> line will do. (It would be also nice to get a short subject + commit text in the mail, but mtk or me can also supply one in case you don't.) > --- filesystems.5.man-pages-3.24.ori 2010-02-25 23:46:53.000000000 -0500 > +++ filesystems.5.2010-05-19.new 2010-05-19 15:08:55.653199451 -0400 > @@ -22,12 +22,14 @@ > .\" > .\" 2007-12-14 mtk Added Reiserfs, XFS, JFS. > .\" > -.TH FILESYSTEMS 5 2007-12-14 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual" > +.\" 2010-05-19 Jeff Barry, Added ext4 and ntfs. > +.\" > +.TH FILESYSTEMS 5 2010-05-19 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual" > .nh > .SH NAME FYI, we have stopped adding change entries in the file headers. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis When I feel like exercising, I just lie down until the feeling goes away. -- xed_over -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
