mchehab: hi all
<br> 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
<br> so, if you have anything pending, please let me know
syoung: hello
pinchartl: <u>mchehab</u>: I hope you'll recover soon
mchehab: thanks! I'm almost recovered today. Had to change the medicine yesterday. After that, I'm feeling a lot better
<br> 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
<br> probably won't be able to apply patches upstream
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
mchehab: that's why I expect to be able to do it tomorrow, but I need first to finish some presentations for the event
<br> <u>syoung</u>: good question... I never sent any patches to Alec. My contact with him was during a Kernel Summit, 2 years ago
<br> during a BoF about documentation
<br> Maybe man pages are maintained by someone else those days
<br> you could try to e-mail to people at linux-doc@vger.kernel.org (and Jonathan)
<br> they may eventually be able to help you to get it merged at manpages upstream
<br> https://lwn.net/Articles/680111/
<br> it seems that, up to 2016, Michael was doing the man page releases
<br> hmm...
<br> https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg13017.html
<br> he forwarded your patch to Alec. I would try to ping them both about that
syoung: unfortunately, Alec replied months later and only to me, not to the list
mchehab: what did he replied?
syoung: <u>see</u>: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg13116.html
<br> maybe I should have phrased that better
mchehab: sorry, I guess I missed something...
<br> did Alec reply to you in priv or not? If he did, what did he say?
syoung: Alec replied in private and said:
<br> > Yes, sorry, must have missed your message. These ioctl are used to
<br> > exist, but are no more and should be removed.
<br> I replied to that and cc the list again
<br> the bpf man pages are really out of date, looks like they're having trouble getting things merged too: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg13169.html
mchehab: hmm.. LIRC_CAN_REC_RAW still exists
-: mchehab is looking at the patch
mchehab: also LIRC_CAN_REC_PULSE
<br> LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_FILTER too
<br> and LIRC_CAN_SEND_MODE2
<br> why are you removing them from the man-pages?
<br> the remaining of the patch looks OK on my eyes
<br> <u>syoung</u>: anyway, I'm answering the e-mail
<br> with the above notes. It is worth to have your comments about that inside the thread
<br> sent
<br> anything else?
syoung: <u>mchehab</u>: thank you. LIRC_CAN_REC_RAW etc do still exist in the header but have no implementation; they just exist to not break builds.
<br> anyway, I'll reply so it's in the thread. Thank you again.
mchehab: anytime
