a7ddcea5 - Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/

Mon, 03 Sep 2018 22:15:23 +0000

Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/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 correctway, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files presentin a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and theirusefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would revealthe same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive asa short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surpriseanyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer reallyneeded, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhapsit is time to just throw them out.A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, firstcounter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, lastis files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.List of outdated 00-INDEX:Documentation: (4/10)Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)Documentation/timers: (1/0)Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)Documentation/w1/slaves: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 thatare missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no00-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. Ifwe should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather notif we just want to delete them anyway.As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX andsee where the discussion is going.Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad Acked-by: "Paul E.

README: Improve documentation descriptions"This file" indeed was moved once, but at some point "this file", thetop-level README, becomes a file in itself.
