OK, I'll also drop the "L:" line. I wasn't sure about it because I see that there are other entries marked as "Orphan" and the list is still there. But you are right: although the "sparmaintainer" list address is not bouncing, it looks like nobody care to read messages there. > And really, this whole code should be removed, no one seems to be using > it, and if they are, we can easily revert the removal and mark them as > the maintainer. 1) If I remove the entire drivers/staging/unisys/ I suppose that, in MAINTAINERS I should also remove the whole entry called "UNISYS S-PAR DRIVERS", not only the "L:" line. 2) Furthermore, I understand that I should also should change the relevant Kbuild files, otherwise all builds of staging would fail. I'm sorry for asking but, as you probably recall, I have no prior experience with removing drivers from trees and with the Kbuild's infrastructure. I'll take some time to read how it works. Are the two arguments above correct? Thanks, Fabio M. De Francesco
