[12:00] <mchehab> hi all
[12:02] <mchehab> I've been very busy this week, and got a cold... didn't have any time yet to handle pull requests. I'll try to do it tomorrow
[12:02] <mchehab> so, if you have anything pending, please let me know
[12:06] <syoung> hello
[12:07] <pinchartl> mchehab: I hope you'll recover soon
[12:08] <mchehab> thanks! I'm almost recovered today. Had to change the medicine yesterday. After that, I'm feeling a lot better
[12:09] <mchehab> as I warned last week, I'll be travelling again next week, where I'll be staying behind a very restricted firewall most of the time
[12:10] <mchehab> probably won't be able to apply patches upstream
[12:10] <syoung> I would like some advice please. Is there anything I can do (or do differently) to get my patch for man-pages accepted? See https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg134601.html
[12:10] <mchehab> that's why I expect to be able to do it tomorrow, but I need first to finish some presentations for the event
[12:11] <mchehab> syoung: good question... I never sent any patches to Alec. My contact with him was during a Kernel Summit, 2 years ago
[12:11] <mchehab> during a BoF about documentation
[12:12] <mchehab> Maybe man pages are maintained by someone else those days
[12:12] <mchehab> you could try to e-mail to people at linux-doc@vger.kernel.org (and Jonathan)
[12:13] <mchehab> they may eventually be able to help you to get it merged at manpages upstream
[12:14] <mchehab> https://lwn.net/Articles/680111/
[12:14] <mchehab> it seems that, up to 2016, Michael was doing the man page releases
[12:15] <mchehab> hmm...
[12:15] <mchehab> https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg13017.html
[12:16] <mchehab> he forwarded your patch to Alec. I would try to ping them both about that
[12:16] <syoung> unfortunately, Alec replied months later and only to me, not to the list
[12:16] <mchehab> what did he replied?
[12:17] <syoung> see: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg13116.html
[12:18] <syoung> maybe I should have phrased that better
[12:20] <mchehab> sorry, I guess I missed something...
[12:21] <mchehab> did Alec reply to you in priv or not? If he did, what did he say?
[12:22] <syoung> Alec replied in private and said:
[12:22] <syoung> > Yes, sorry, must have missed your message. These ioctl are used to
[12:22] <syoung> > exist, but are no more and should be removed.
[12:22] <syoung> I replied to that and cc the list again
[12:23] <syoung> the bpf man pages are really out of date, looks like they're having trouble getting things merged too: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg13169.html
[12:27] <mchehab> hmm.. LIRC_CAN_REC_RAW still exists
[12:27] * mchehab is looking at the patch
[12:27] <mchehab> also LIRC_CAN_REC_PULSE
[12:28] <mchehab> LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_FILTER too
[12:28] <mchehab> and LIRC_CAN_SEND_MODE2
[12:28] <mchehab> why are you removing them from the man-pages?
[12:28] <mchehab> the remaining of the patch looks OK on my eyes
[12:31] <mchehab> syoung: anyway, I'm answering the e-mail
[12:31] <mchehab> with the above notes. It is worth to have your comments about that inside the thread
[12:33] <mchehab> sent
[12:34] <mchehab> anything else?
[12:40] <syoung> mchehab: thank you. LIRC_CAN_REC_RAW etc do still exist in the header but have no implementation; they just exist to not break builds.
[12:44] <syoung> anyway, I'll reply so it's in the thread. Thank you again.
[12:49] <mchehab> anytime
