Documentation/process/howto: Update for 4.x -> 5.x versioning

2019-03-04T19:47:09Z

As linux-5.0 is coming up soon, the howto.rst document can be updated for the new kernel version. Instead of changing all 4.x references to 5.x, this time we git rid of all explicit version numbers and rework some kernel trees' name to keep the docs current and real.

doc: Change LXR references to elixir.bootlin.com

2019-02-01T23:05:03Z

Recently, Free Electrons was renamed to Bootlin[1]. Less recently, the Linux Cross Reference (LXR) at lxr.free-electrons.com was replaced by Elixir[2], and lxr.free-electrons.com redirected first to elixir.free-electrons.com and now to elixir.bootlin.com.

doc:process: add links where missing

2018-12-06T17:21:19Z

Some documents are refering to others without links. With this patch I add those missing links. This patch affects only documents under process/ and labels where necessary. Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

doc:it_IT: add some process/* translations

2018-11-20T16:11:12Z

This patch does not translate entirely the subfolder "process/" but only part of it (to begin with). In order to avoid broken links, I included empty documents for those which are not yet translated. In order to be able to refer to all documents in "process/", I added a sphinx label to those which had not one. Translated documents: - howto - 1.Intro - clang-format - coding-style - kernel-driver-statement - magic-number - volatile-considered-harmful - development-process Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga Signed-off-by: Alessia Mantegazza Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: tidy up TOCs and refs to license-rules.rst

2018-08-31T22:50:50Z

The documentation and TOCs are organized in a manner of a tree. Adding a TOC to the root, which refers to a file which is located in a subfolder forms a grid. Those TOCs are a bit confusing and thats why we get additional error messages while building partial documentation:: $ make SPHINXDIRS=process htmldocs ... checking consistency... Documentation/process/license-rules.rst: \ WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree To fix it, the *root-license-TOC* is replaced by a reference and the 'license-roles.txt' is added to the Documentation/process/index.rst TOC. BTW: there was an old licences remark in Documentation/process/howto.rst which is also updated, mentioning SPDX and pointing to the license-rules.rst Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
