This is a RFC and a bit rough for now. I only set down to create the first of the three patches. But while doing so I noticed a few things that seemed odd for me with my background on writing and editing texts. So I just quickly performed a few additional changes to fix those to see if the stable team would appreciate them, as this document is clearly their domain.
If those changes or even the initial patch are not welcomed, I'll simply drop them. I'd totally understand this, as texts like these are delicate and it's easy to accidentlly change the intent or the meaning while adjusting things in good faith.
At the same time I might be willing to do a few more changes, if people like the direction this takes and want a bit more fine tuning.
I do like it, many thanks for taking the time to do this work, it's much appreciated.
If you resend the first 2 as a non-RFC patch,
BTW: thx again for your uplifting feedback! And in case anyone missed it, I send those two patches out yesterday here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1689056247.git.linux@leemhuis.info/
the last one needs some more work as mentioned.
I have that one in a separate branch now and spitted into four patches; the first three basically move text around, which results in a much cleaner diff for the last patch that contains actual content changes. While working on the latter I noticed one more thing:
``` .. warning:: The -stable-rc tree is a snapshot in time of the stable-queue tree and will change frequently, hence will be rebased often. It should only be used for testing purposes (e.g. to be consumed by CI systems). ```
That sounded a bit odd to me, as it will scare people away that want to test stable -rc's using git; and I think it doesn't match current practices. I'll thus likely change the text to something like this, unless I'm missing something or someone has a better idea: ``` .. warning:: The branches in the -stable-rc tree are rebased each time a new -rc is released, as they are created by taking the latest release and applying the patches from the stable-queue on top. ```
Ciao, Thorsten
