Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Revamp admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst to make it more comprehensible
Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2019 20:40:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190108194007.29439-1-linux@leemhuis.info> (raw)
Hi! This is the second version of my patch to make
admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst more comprehensible. It got triggered while
working on an update for reporting-bugs.rst, as improving the documentation
around reporting bugs and regressions was one of the main things that a lot of
people wanted to see while regression tracking was discussed in the kernel and
maintainer summit 2017 in Prague.
This is the second version of the patch, which became a patch set, as it now
contains a script Randy (thx) provided during the discussion of the first
version.
Please review and consider applying.
Ciao, Thorsten
