Change the source format from "1.0" to "3.0 (quilt)" because it works more cleanly. All files except .config and debian/ go into the orig tarball. Add a single patch, debian/patches/config, and delete the ugly extend-diff-ignore patterns. The debian tarball will be compressed into *.debian.tar.xz by default. If you like to use a different compression mode, you can pass the command line option, DPKG_FLAGS=-Zgzip, for example. The orig tarball only supports gzip for now. The combination of gzip and xz is somewhat clumsy, but it is not a practical problem. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier <nicolas@fjasle.eu>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
