Subject: how best to report results of my kernel tree scanning scripts?
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 08:16:12 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0909260811470.19017@localhost> (raw)
since the merge window appears to be ready to close fairly soon(?),
i'm prepping to run my scanning scripts once again to identify (among
other things):
* unused Kconfig CONFIG variables
* references to CONFIG_ variables that don't even exist (both in
source files and Makefiles)
* references to non-existent header files
and bunches of other things. i'm open as to the best way to post the
results, since different people have different opinions.
and, no, i can't just submit patches since, in many cases, i have no
idea what the fix should be (if any) -- that's the kind of decision
best left to the respective subsystem maintainers.
thoughts? this is where i put the old output:
