* Update email address for stable patch submissionJosh Boyer2011-10-181-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | The stable@kernel.org email address has been replaced with the stable@vger.kernel.org mailing list. Change the stable kernel rules to reference the new list instead of the semi-defunct email alias.

* Documentation: -stable rules: upstream commit ID requirement rewordedStefan Richter2010-04-221-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | It is a hard requirement to include the upstream commit ID in the changelog of a -stable submission, not just a courtesy to the stable team. This concerns only mail submission though, which is no longer the only way into stable. (Also, fix a double "the".)

* Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logicSebastian Andrzej Siewior2009-12-231-2/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree. - Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified. This was discussued in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/11/9/474 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebastian@breakpoint.cc> Cc: Brandon Philips <brandon@ifup.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* Fix "can not" in Documentation and KconfigMatt LaPlante2006-10-031-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.
