2020-06-08Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentationAlexander A. Klimov1-2/+2
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: 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.

2019-02-18Documentation: change linux-4.x references to 5.xArnd Bergmann1-56/+61
As linux-5.0.x is coming up soon, the documentation should match, in particular the README.rst file, so change all 4.x references accordingly. There was a mix of lowercase and uppercase X here, which I changed to using lowercase consistently. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-08-31docs: process: drop git snapshots from applying-patches.rstRandy Dunlap1-42/+1
Drop all references to git daily snapshots of Linux mainline git tree since they are no longer generated. Drop the "Last update" info since 'git log' is a better source of that info and since the Last update date is not being updated. Yes, I read that this file is obsolete, but it still has some useful information in it. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

2016-10-28docs: Add a warning to applying-patches.rstJonathan Corbet1-0/+4
This is ancient stuff and we don't do things this way anymore. In the absence of simply deleting the document, at least add a warning to it. Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-10-24docs-rst: add documents to development-processMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+464
Add several documents to the development-process ReST book. As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those documents on their original place. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
