Hello, Im trying to follow the documentation work of converting to Sphinx etc that Jon, Mauro and others are doing ( inferring from the patches coming into kernel-docs@ ). Id like to be able to pull and build the Sphinx based docs, learn and possibly even contribute (wish, wish...). However, Im stuck on a very mundane thing. Im not quite sure which tree has the latest sources. I looked at kernel/kernel-docs.git on git.kernel.org but that seems stale. Im not quite sure if its kernel/gregkh/staging.git. Can someone kindly point me to the correct tree that has the latest sources of Sphinx docs? Thanks Jai

The development tree for documentation is at: git://git.lwn.net/linux.git If you want to get the latest documentation patches, you should use branch docs-next. Regards, Mauro

Don't worry, it's not the staging.git tree, that has nothing to do with the documentation tree :) Have you looked at MAINTAINERS? It shows that: T: git git://git.lwn.net/linux.git docs-next is the tree to look at. Have you tried that? thanks, greg k-h

Jai, let me hijack this thread, to use it as an example :) Hi Jon, That's why I think we should add MAINTAINERS somehow at the documentation... This is not the first time I've seen someone wanting to contribute but not being able to find the proper maintainer or development tree, because he's unaware about the contents of MAINTAINERS. Regards, Mauro
