Hello,
I try running scripts/get_maintainers.pl but it doesn't seem to get the
real maintainers properly. Please note this is run against the current
MAINTAINERS file.
One Example: I would expect drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-bcm2835.c to be
maintained by Stephen Warren based on drivers/*/*bcm2835* below.
get_maintainers doesn't use * as a depth wildcard
*/ matches a single top level directory level
*/*/ matches one level below the top directory level.
But
the get_maintainers.pl script does not seem to process the information
in such a way. So what needs to be corrected - the script or the syntax
used in the MAINTAINERS file?
BROADCOM BCM2835 ARM ARCHICTURE
M: Stephen Warren <swar...@wwwdotorg.org>
L: linux-rpi-ker...@lists.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers)
T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/swarren/linux-rpi.git
S: Maintained
F: arch/arm/mach-bcm/board_bcm2835.c
F: arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2835*
F: arch/arm/configs/bcm2835_defconfig
F: drivers/*/*bcm2835*
F: drivers/*/*/*bmc2835*
Thanks for the explanation. So somebody should really do the following
to maintain any files no matter where they are located?
F: */*bcm2835*
F: */*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*/*/*bcm2835*
F: */*/*/*/*/*/*/*bcm2835*
Or, can a recursive option be added in the script?
