Documentation: -stable rules: upstream commit ID requirement reworded

2010-04-22T22:24:56+00:00

It is a hard requirement to include the upstream commit ID in the
changelog of a -stable submission, not just a courtesy to the stable
team.  This concerns only mail submission though, which is no longer
the only way into stable.  (Also, fix a double "the".)

Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic

2009-12-23T19:23:43+00:00

- it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending
  them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is
  available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into
  the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree.
- Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.
  This was discussued in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/9/474

Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig

2006-10-03T20:53:09+00:00

Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always
be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot
understand why this rule exists.  This patch fixes "can not" in several
Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

[PATCH] Add the rules about the -stable kernel releases to the Documentation directory

2005-07-29T20:12:49+00:00

This was the last agreed upon set of rules, it's probably time we actually add
them to the kernel tree to make them "official".
