* CONTRIBUTING: Reduce strength of encouragementAlejandro Colomar2023-12-28-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | That paragraph may be confusing to those who don't know about PGP, so reduce strength of encouragement. But to those that know about PGP, and know how to use it, please, please use it. Suggested-by: "G. Branden Robinson" <branden@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>

* *.mk, CONTRIBUTING, INSTALL: lint, build, check: Reorganize some targetsAlejandro Colomar2023-04-02-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some targets which were under lint-* were really building cat pages, so let's call it build-catman, since it's what it is. As part of the build, it will report warnings, of course, as any other build system, so nothing really changed, except for the target names, and the path in the build tree where the cat pages (and intermediate files) are placed, which is now directly under <.tmp/man/*>. Some other targets were checking that the cat pages were correct after the build, so those targets have been moved to check-* targets. Document that contributors should run both the 'lint' and 'check' targets to check the correctness of their patches. `make all`, a.k.a. `make build`, now builds _all_ that can be built, including cat pages, and C programs. Implementation detail: $LINTMAN has been renamed, since now it's used also for things that are not linters. Call it $NONSO_MAN, since it's a list of the non-'.so' man pages, which are the ones we want to lint, build, and check. Future directions: I plan to implement 'build-html' using groff(1), which will reuse part of the build-catman pipeline. That will produce much higher quality HTML manual pages. Cc: G.

* CONTRIBUTING: Fix typo, there is one active maintainerRodrigo Campos2023-03-08-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | On commit "CONTRIBUTING, README, lsm: Remove mtk as maintainer" (06e72cb1) we changed to mail only one maintainer, but the doc still says "both maintainers". When submitting a patch, I was confused by that fact and thought Michael address was missing. But after checking, it seems we just need to send it to Alejandro, so clarify the text to match that.
