Documentation/HOWTO: add cross-references to other documents Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation. It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file. We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo directory.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

Documentation/Changes: add minimal requirements for documentation build As discussed at linux-doc ML, the best is to keep all documents backward compatible with Sphinx version 1.2, as it is the latest version found on some distros like Debian. All books currently support it. Please notice that, while it mentions the eventual need of XeLaTex and texlive to build pdf files, this is not a minimal requirement, as one could just be interested on building html documents. Also, identifying the minimal requirements for texlive packages is not trivial, as each distribution seems to use different criteria on grouping LaTex functionalities. While here, update the current kernel version to 4.x. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81 Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version 3.80. Example errors: $ git describe v4.11 $ make --version | head -1 GNU Make 3.80 $ make defconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator. Stop. make: *** [defconfig] Error 2 $ make ARCH=arm64 help arch/arm64/Makefile:43: *** unterminated call to function `warning': missing `)'. Stop. $ make help >/dev/null ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional. Stop. make: *** [help] Error 2 The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e9e01 ("kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency appropriately"). Since then (i.e. v3.18), GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel, but nobody has ever complained aboutt (or noticed) it. Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old. It would not hurt to match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles.

Documentation/Changes: Now need OpenSSL devel packages for module signing The module signing script (sign-file) used to be a wrapper around the openssl program. It has now been replaced by a C program that uses the crypto library from the OpenSSL package meaning that the OpenSSL devel packages are necessary to provide the devel library link and the header files. This would be openssl-devel on Fedora and libssl-dev on Debian.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

Documentation/Changes: clean up mcelog paragraph The paragraph on mcelog currently describes kernel v2.6.31. In that kernel the mce code (for i386, that is) was in transition. Ever since v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64). Since this "document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of software necessary to run the 3.0 kernels" let's just describe that situation.

Documentation/Changes: add minimal requirements for documentation build As discussed at linux-doc ML, the best is to keep all documents backward compatible with Sphinx version 1.2, as it is the latest version found on some distros like Debian. All books currently support it. Please notice that, while it mentions the eventual need of XeLaTex and texlive to build pdf files, this is not a minimal requirement, as one could just be interested on building html documents. Also, identifying the minimal requirements for texlive packages is not trivial, as each distribution seems to use different criteria on grouping LaTex functionalities.

Documentation/Changes: Now need OpenSSL devel packages for module signing The module signing script (sign-file) used to be a wrapper around the openssl program. It has now been replaced by a C program that uses the crypto library from the OpenSSL package meaning that the OpenSSL devel packages are necessary to provide the devel library link and the header files. This would be openssl-devel on Fedora and libssl-dev on Debian.

Documentation/Changes: Now need OpenSSL devel packages for module signing The module signing script (sign-file) used to be a wrapper around the openssl program. It has now been replaced by a C program that uses the crypto library from the OpenSSL package meaning that the OpenSSL devel packages are necessary to provide the devel library link and the header files. This would be openssl-devel on Fedora and libssl-dev on Debian.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

[PATCH] DocBook: Use xmlto to process the DocBook files. xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of kernel-specific scripts that are needed to generate documentation.

Documentation/Changes: add minimal requirements for documentation build As discussed at linux-doc ML, the best is to keep all documents backward compatible with Sphinx version 1.2, as it is the latest version found on some distros like Debian. All books currently support it. Please notice that, while it mentions the eventual need of XeLaTex and texlive to build pdf files, this is not a minimal requirement, as one could just be interested on building html documents. Also, identifying the minimal requirements for texlive packages is not trivial, as each distribution seems to use different criteria on grouping LaTex functionalities. While here, update the current kernel version to 4.x. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
