The proposed entry type is somewhat redundant: - L: contains the development list of a subsystem. Patchwork is fed from those lists. Patchwork users look at the few known patchwork sites (the original one at ozlabs.org, the newer one at kernel.org) and see all the lists that are hosted there. - Projects with a web site, listed in their W: entry, almost certainly document there where their patchwork site is, if they use one. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- ---= -===- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Micropatches to MAINTAINERS are preferred because of rate of change. see: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/24/458 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

So, add a paragraph on them in Documentation/HOWTO and you are done. The listings at patchwork.kernel.org and patchwork.ozlabs.org are always current. Your manual copy in the kernel source won't be. See? I just saved you and others quite some time. You could spend it for example to helpgetting our regressions count down. > Micropatches to MAINTAINERS are preferred because of rate of change. Useless micropatches do _not_ make one look productive. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- ---= -===- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
