Subject: Documentation/HOWTO: info about interface changes should CC linux-api@vger
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:33:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cfd18e0f0809260333l40bb2e32p2a0b5626b2823d25@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The "Documentation" section of this file mentions that when an
interface change is made, I should be CCed with info about the change
(so that man-pages can document it). Additionally request that this
info be CCed to the new linux-api@vger.kernel.org list.
