-Descriptions of section entries
--------------------------------
+Descriptions of section entries and preferred order
+---------------------------------------------------
M: *Mail* patches to: FullName <address@domain>
R: Designated *Reviewer*: FullName <address@domain>
These reviewers should be CCed on patches.
L: *Mailing list* that is relevant to this area
- W: *Web-page* with status/info
- B: URI for where to file *bugs*. A web-page with detailed bug
- filing info, a direct bug tracker link, or a mailto: URI.
- C: URI for *chat* protocol, server and channel where developers
- usually hang out, for example irc://server/channel.
- Q: *Patchwork* web based patch tracking system site
- T: *SCM* tree type and location.
- Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit, topgit
S: *Status*, one of the following:
Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.
Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
it has been replaced by a better system and you
should be using that.
+ W: *Web-page* with status/info
+ Q: *Patchwork* web based patch tracking system site
+ B: URI for where to file *bugs*. A web-page with detailed bug
+ filing info, a direct bug tracker link, or a mailto: URI.
+ C: URI for *chat* protocol, server and channel where developers
+ usually hang out, for example irc://server/channel.
P: Subsystem Profile document for more details submitting
patches to the given subsystem. This is either an in-tree file,
or a URI. See Documentation/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst
for details.
+ T: *SCM* tree type and location.
+ Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit, topgit
F: *Files* and directories wildcard patterns.
A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
F: drivers/net/ all files in and below drivers/net
F: drivers/net/* all files in drivers/net, but not below
F: */net/* all files in "any top level directory"/net
One pattern per line. Multiple F: lines acceptable.
+ X: *Excluded* files and directories that are NOT maintained, same
+ rules as F:. Files exclusions are tested before file matches.
+ Can be useful for excluding a specific subdirectory, for instance:
+ F: net/
+ X: net/ipv6/
+ matches all files in and below net excluding net/ipv6/
N: Files and directories *Regex* patterns.
- N: [^a-z]tegra all files whose path contains the word tegra
+ N: [^a-z]tegra all files whose path contains tegra
+ (not including files like integrator)
One pattern per line. Multiple N: lines acceptable.
scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns. By default,
get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: pattern
match occurs. When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.
- X: *Excluded* files and directories that are NOT maintained, same
- rules as F:. Files exclusions are tested before file matches.
- Can be useful for excluding a specific subdirectory, for instance:
- F: net/
- X: net/ipv6/
- matches all files in and below net excluding net/ipv6/
K: *Content regex* (perl extended) pattern match in a patch or file.
For instance:
K: of_get_profile
