From 6be0710cfe7325be72c72cde702318b983b450a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:43:12 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainer.pl: find maintainers for removed files For removed files, get_maintainer.pl doesn't find any maintainers (besides the default linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org), as it only looks at the "+++" lines, which are "/dev/null" for removals. Fix this by extending the parsing to the "---" lines. E.g. for the two line test patch below the real score maintainers will now be found: --- a/arch/score/include/asm/dma-mapping.h +++ /dev/null Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/get_maintainer.pl | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/get_maintainer.pl b/scripts/get_maintainer.pl index 8b673dd4627f..18d4ab55606b 100755 --- a/scripts/get_maintainer.pl +++ b/scripts/get_maintainer.pl @@ -433,7 +433,7 @@ foreach my $file (@ARGV) { while (<$patch>) { my $patch_line = $_; - if (m/^\+\+\+\s+(\S+)/) { + if (m/^\+\+\+\s+(\S+)/ or m/^---\s+(\S+)/) { my $filename = $1; $filename =~ s@^[^/]*/@@; $filename =~ s@\n@@; -- 2.20.1
