From 8ed292fe864e9ed7d335515e97590122a56d7cba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Corbet Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 16:43:41 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] docs: deprecate kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt Now that the new Sphinx world order is taking over, the information in kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt is outmoded. I hate to remove it altogether, since it's one of those files that people expect to find. But we can add a warning and fix all the other pointers to it.
