Handling of updates to kernel Documentation/ tree

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

 



Hi Michael,

how shall an update to the Documentation/ tree be handled in man pages 
that contain a pointer to these documents?

Specifically, socket(2) contains a reference to 
Documentation/crypto/crypto-API-userspace.txt. With the patch [1] the 
document is gone and its contents is moved into a DocBook.

Shall the kernel DocBook website [2] be referenced? If so, when is it 
appropriate to add the patch (note, the change is expected to be 
propagated to Linus' tree in 4.1-rc1).

Ciao
