get_maintainer: Prepare for separate MAINTAINERS files

2017-08-08T18:09:31Z

Allow for MAINTAINERS to become a directory and if it is, read all the files in the directory for maintained sections. Optionally look for all files named MAINTAINERS in directories excluding the .git directory by using --find-maintainer-files. This optional feature adds ~.3 seconds of CPU on an Intel i5-6200 with an SSD. Miscellanea: - Create a read_maintainer_file subroutine from the existing code - Test only the existence of MAINTAINERS, not whether it's a file Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts: Switch to more portable Perl shebang

2017-05-14T02:20:44Z

The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix. The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl. This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody. Perl's executable is detected automatically. This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the default behavior. While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?). Signed-off-by: Kamil Rytarowski Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

get_maintainer: look for arbitrary letter prefixes in sections

2016-12-13T02:55:09Z

Jani Nikula proposes patches to add a few new letter prefixes for "B:" bug reporting and "C:" maintainer chatting to the various sections of MAINTAINERS. Add a generic mechanism to get_maintainer.pl to find sections that have any combination of "[A-Z]" letter prefix types in a section.

get_maintainer: quiet noisy implicit -f vcs_file_exists checking

2016-08-27T00:39:34Z

Checking command line filenames that are outside the git tree can emit a noisy and confusing message. Quiet that message by redirecting stderr. Verify that the command was executed successfully.

get_maintainer: Don't check if STDIN exists in a VCS repository

2016-08-10T17:42:00Z

If get_maintainer is not given any filename arguments on the command line, the standard input is read for a patch. But checking if a VCS has a file named &STDIN is not a good idea and fails. Verify the nominal input file is not &STDIN before checking the VCS.

get_maintainer.pl: reduce need for command-line option -f

2016-08-02T23:35:07Z

If a vcs is used, look to see if the vcs tracks the file specified and so the -f option becomes optional. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/7c86a8df0d48770c45778a43b6b3e4627b2a90ee.1469746395.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: handle file names beginning with ./

2016-01-21T01:09:18Z

The problem is that get_maintainer.pl doesn't work if you have a ./ prefix on the filename. For example, if you type: ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f ./drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c then the current code only includes LKML and people from the git log, it doesn't include Greg or the linux-usb list.

get_maintainer: add subsystem to reviewer output

get_maintainer: --r (list reviewer) is on by default

get_maintainer: add --no-foo options to --help

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

Many flag options are boolean and support both a positive and a negative invocation from the command line. Some of these are even mentioned by example (e.g., --nogit is mentioned as a default option), but they aren't explicitly mentioned in the list of options. It happens that some of these are pretty important, as they are default-on, and to turn them off, you have to know about the --no-foo version. Rather than clutter the whole help text with bracketed '--[no]foo', let's just mention the general rule, a la 'man gcc'.
