I really think we should just delete Lindent. I haven't > used the checkpatch.pl --fix option but Joe Perches has good style. I merely fixed obvious but minor issues in Lindent as I stumbled upon them the one time in my life I used that script. That was years ago. I'm not using it on a regular basis. My principle is that if a script is present in the kernel tree then it can and should be maintained. If it is deemed not worth the maintenance effort then it should be deleted. I don't care either way. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support
