  • This version brings a number of new checks, fixes for flase
    positives, plus a clarification of the output to better guide use. Of
    note:

    - checks for documentation for new __setup calls
    - clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
    - reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
    - reports on unwanted externs

    This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
    itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
    is not intended as the final arbitor of style.

    Full changelog:

    Andy Whitcroft (19):
    Version: 0.07

  • We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
    to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
    the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

    As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
    include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
    submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

  • It seems that we need to clarify that a patch series is a series of related
    patches rather than "here are some of my patches as multiple (numbered)
    emails."

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
