doc: re-add CodingStyle and SubmittingPatches

2016-10-24T10:12:35+00:00

Those files got moved to Documentation/process, but as they're very well known files, add pointers to their new locations. PS.: I opted to not merge this patch with the previous one in order to make the diff of the previous one more consistent, as it will show only renames. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

docs-rst: add documents to development-process

2016-10-24T10:12:35+00:00

Add several documents to the development-process ReST book. As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those documents on their original place. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

docs: rename development-process/ to process/

2016-10-24T10:12:35+00:00

As we'll type this a lot, after adding CodingStyle & friends, let's rename the directory name to a shorter one. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

docs-rst: add inter-document cross references

2016-09-21T21:43:09+00:00

Add cross references for the development process documents that were converted to ReST: Documentation/SubmitChecklist Documentation/SubmittingDrivers Documentation/SubmittingPatches Documentation/development-process/development-process.rst Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Documentation/HOWTO: add cross-references to other documents

2016-09-21T00:41:04+00:00

Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation. It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file. We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo directory.

Documentation/SubmittingPatches: enrich the Sphinx output

2016-09-21T00:39:31+00:00

Do a few changes to make the output look better: - use bullets on trivial patches list; - use monotonic font for tools name; - use :manpage:`foo` for man pages; - don't put all references to maintainer*html at the same line. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Documentation/SubmittingPatches: convert it to ReST markup

2016-09-21T00:39:17+00:00

- Change the sections to use ReST markup; - Add cross-references where needed; - convert aspas to verbatim text; - use code block tags; - make Sphinx happy. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
