get_maintainer: allow option --mpath to read all files in

2018-08-22T17:52:48Z

There is an external use case for multiple private MAINTAINER style files in a separate directory. Allow it. --mpath has a default of "./MAINTAINERS". The value entered can be either a file or a directory. The behaviors are now: --mpath Read only the specific file as file --mpath Read all files in as files --mpath --find-maintainer-files Recurse through and read all files named MAINTAINERS Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/991b2f20112d53863cd79e61d908f1d26d3e1971.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Tested-by: Don Zickus Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer.pl: add -mpath= for MAINTAINERS file location

2018-08-22T17:52:48Z

Add the ability to have an override for the location of the MAINTAINERS file.

get_maintainer: allow usage outside of kernel tree

2018-08-22T17:52:47Z

Add option '--no-tree' to get_maintainer.pl script to allow using this script in projects that aren't the Linux kernel if they use the same format for their MAINTAINERS file. This command is also available in checkpatch.pl, for example.

2018-06-08T00:34:39Z

There are mode change and rename only patches that are unrecognized by the get_maintainer.pl script. Recognize them.

2018-06-08T00:34:33Z

Add the appropriate SPDX tag to these scripts. Miscellanea: o Add my copyright to checkpatch Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/d08e49e8f6562c58a63792aa64306d1851f81f4b.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Andy Whitcroft Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer: add more --self-test options

2017-11-18T00:10:01Z

Add tests for duplicate section headers, missing section content, link and scm reachability. Miscellanea: o Add --self-test= options (a comma separated list of any of sections, patterns, links or scm) where the default without options is all tests o Rename check_maintainers_patterns to self_test o Rename self_test_pattern_info to self_test_info [tom.saeger@oracle.com: improvements] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/13e3986c374902fcf08ae947e36c5c608bbe3b79.1510075301.git.joe@perches.com Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reviewed-by: Tom Saeger Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

get_maintainer: add --self-test for internal consistency tests

2017-11-18T00:10:01Z

Add "--self-test" option to get_maintainer.pl to show potential issues in MAINTAINERS file(s) content. Pattern check warnings are shown for "F" and "X" patterns found in MAINTAINERS file(s) which do not match any files known by git.

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.
