Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Documentation work keeps chugging along; this includes: - Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated HTML documentation.

docs: add maintainer entry profile for XFS

2023-08-10T14:47:53+00:00

Create a new document to list what I think are (within the scope of XFS) our shared goals and community roles. Since I will be stepping down shortly, I feel it's important to write down somewhere all the hats that I have been wearing for the past six years. Also, document important extra details about how to contribute to XFS. Cc: corbet@lwn.net Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong Reviewed-by: Chandan Babu R

docs: maintainer: document expectations of small time maintainers

2023-07-21T19:47:10+00:00

We appear to have a gap in our process docs. We go into detail on how to contribute code to the kernel, and how to be a subsystem maintainer. I can't find any docs directed towards the thousands of small scale maintainers, like folks maintaining a single driver or a single network protocol. Document our expectations and best practices. I'm hoping this doc will be particularly useful to set expectations with HW vendors.

docs: maintainers: mention tag -s for signed tags

2023-07-14T18:18:49+00:00

The documentation talks about -u and how to configure the default key. It does not mention that once the default key is set one should use the -s flag. Which is likely what most people end up using.
