The below patch, is a simple fix to a broken web address not using a period in it's name. I'll leave this up to you guys if you want to use it...

I'll queue it up, thanks.

Oh, it's "staging", not "stagging" as you have up there in the Subject: :)

thanks,

greg k-h

shoot... and I actually changed it from staging to stagging thinking that was correct..(duh)..

Anyways alright.. I'll exclude this one if the other sets get finalized.

One random suggestion: Perhaps you should include a date here? i.e. "URL blah blah blah (as of Sept 2010)"

That way, people have some idea how much they can trust that URL without having to dig into the kernel history to see when it was last changed.

well.. as it stand right now doing grep -Re "http" in all the directories(minus COPYING/MAINTAINERS) gave me a little over 2000 addresses to check(not so bad, only a few days worth of checking(finding the broken address is time consuming)).. so I could go back and do this for all of them except the webarchive addresses that are broken(maybe put a tag on them saying use_webarchive or something). then there is the question of how much more bloated will the kernel get with such a thing(I'm guessing not much, but then again you never know).
