[PATCH 0/1] docs: kselftest: remove link to obsolete wiki

[Brett A C Sheffield]

Greetings,

I've recently been getting my head around the kselftest system from a standing
start. As I do so, it makes sense that I submit any patches to fix or clarify
the accompanying documentation while I still have a newbie's perspective, as
presumably that is who such documentation is aimed at.

Paragraph three of the "Linux Kernel Selftests" documentation immediately sends
me off elsewhere to a wiki which greets me with the ominous warning:

"OBSOLETE CONTENT This wiki has been archived and the content is no longer
updated."

The wiki hasn't been updated since 2019, still refers to Freenode as an IRC
network where one might find help, and mentions kernel versions that are
probably older than some budding kernel developers.

There are a few links to Google docs with slides from presentations given over a
decade ago, but I don't think there's much in here that isn't covered more
accessibly in the kernel Documentation/

If there's anything in the archived wiki that should be retained, lets move it
into the main documentation.

Cheers,


Brett

[PATCH 1/1] docs: kselftest: remove link to obsolete wiki

[Brett A C Sheffield]

Remove the reference to the obsolete kselftest wiki.

The kselftest wiki is marked obsolete and is no longer updated. The last
edit was in 2019, and the information is outdated, referring readers for
support to IRC networks that have not been used for years, and to kernel
versions that are no longer supported.

If there is any relevant information left in the wiki it needs to be
cleaned up and moved into the canonical kselftest documentation here.
