Commit 329ac9af902e added a cross-reference missing a hyphen; add one from my emergency hyphen stash. Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Fixes: 329ac9af902e ("docs: submitting-patches: Discuss interleaved replies") Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202305201652.POM84URe-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2023-05-19docs: submitting-patches: Discuss interleaved repliesKees Cook
Top-posting has been strongly discouraged in Linux development, but this was actually not written anywhere in the common documentation about sending patches and replying to reviews. Add a section about trimming and interleaved replies.

2022-10-24Documentation: process: replace outdated LTS table w/ linkNick Desaulniers
The existing table was a bit outdated. 3.16 was EOL in 2020. 4.4 was EOL in 2022. 5.10 is new in 2020. 5.15 is new in 2021. We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022. Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.

2020-06-26Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: Documentation/processAlexander A. Klimov
Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

2020-02-19Documentation: bring process docs up to dateTony Fischetti
The guide to the kernel dev process documentation, for example, contains references to older kernels and their timelines. In addition, one of the "long term support kernels" listed have since reached EOL, and a new one has been named. This patch brings information/tables up to date. Additionally, some very trivial grammatical errors, unclear sentences, and potentially unsavory diction have been edited.
