2019-05-31isdn: remove isdn4linuxArnd Bergmann
With all isdn4linux hardware drivers gone, this is only a wrapper around CAPI to support old user space. However, from looking at the mailing list, it seems that the last time anyone asked about it was in 2014, when the upgrade from a linux-2.4 installation failed, and mISDN was suggested as a replacement. The largest public ISDN network (Deutsche Telekom) was supposed to be shut down 2018, which must have drastically reduced the number of legacy installations. When we last discussed removing i4l in 2016, Karsten Keil suggested revisiting this in 2018. I guess this is overdue.

2019-05-31isdn: remove hisax driverArnd Bergmann
With the decline of ISDN, this seems to have become almost completely obsolete, and even in the past years before that, almost all remaining users appear to have used mISDN instead. Birger Harzenetter noted that he is still using i4l/hisax to take advantage of the 'divert' driver for call diversion, but otherwise uses mISDN on the same hardware. This is a rare edge case as far as I can tell, but we are still breaking an actively used work flow (see https://xkcd.com/1172/). We debated moving i4l/hisax to staging as an intermediate step, but as he is not likely to change the setup, and that would just delay breaking this use case. The alternatives here are to stay on stable kernels < 5.2, to create an external driver repository for isdn4linux, or to add divert functionality to mISDN.

isdn4linux is getting removed, and the gigaset driver can still use the CAPI support, so this can all go away. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2018-09-09Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad <henrik@austad.us> Acked-by: "Paul E.

2016-03-05isdn: i4l: move active-isdn drivers to stagingArnd Bergmann
The icn, act2000 and pcbit drivers are all for very old hardware, and it is highly unlikely that anyone is actually still using them on modern kernels, if at all. All three drivers apparently are for hardware that predates PCI being the common connector, as they are ISA-only and active PCI ISDN cards were widely available in the 1990s. Looking through the git logs, it I cannot find any indication of a patch to any of these drivers that has been tested on real hardware, only cleanups or global API changes.

2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
