Honestly, I'd like to just encourage people to get the sparse update from Luc Van Oostenryck instead.
For a while there it looked like Chris Li would just pull from Luc, and we'd have timely releases, but that really doesn't seem to have ended up happening after all. So right now it's probably just best to get Luc's tree instead from
https://github.com/lucvoo/sparse-devwhich also ends up fixing a lot of other issues.
Oh, and I meant to cc Luc on that email, but then forgot. So here he is cc'd now.

Something that is confusing for kernel developers is that the sparse wiki (https://sparse.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page) refers kernel developers to an outdated sparse tree. Should something be done about this inconsistency? Should the sparse wiki point at one of Luc's sparse trees or should perhaps Luc be granted access to the tree that wiki points at (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git)?
Thanks,
