Subject: regression: checkpatch.pl fails when called via symlink
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:43:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874muwv0ym.fsf@intel.com> (raw)


Since commit 66b47b4a9dad00e45c049d79966de9a3a1f4d337
Author: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
Date:   Mon Oct 13 15:51:57 2014 -0700

    checkpatch: look for common misspellings

checkpatch.pl dies with

checkpatch.pl: Can't open /path/to/spelling.txt for reading: No such file or directory

if it's called through a symlink in /path/to/checkpatch.pl pointing at
the actual script.

Please fail graciously, and just ignore spelling if you can't find
spelling.txt. Or better yet, follow the links if you can.


Thanks,
Jani.
