Since this is my very first time stepping up as a kernel maintainer, I was hoping to get some pointers on what to do to make this happen.
So far, we have set up a new kernel tree and I have set up a local development and test environment for SH kernels using my SH7785LCR board as the target platform.
Do I just need to send a patch asking to change the corresponding entry in the MAINTAINERS file?
I'm not sure a there is a document, but:
- add the MAINTAINERS change to your tree
- ask Stephen to get your tree included in linux-next
And by "Stephen", Christoph means me. When you are ready, please send me a request to include your tree/branch in linux-next (usually the branch is called something like "for-next" or just "next") telling me the git URL, and the contacts I should send email to if there are conflicts/build issues with the branch. I will then fetch the branch every time I create a new linux-next release (most work days), so all you need to do is update that branch each time you are ready to publish more commits.
Thanks a lot! I will start with that tomorrow with Geert giving me some guidance.
