I think that any robot sending such checkpatch-only emails should be disabled. I know of 2 email robots. Fengguang Wu's very useful build robot sends out emails on build failures. I think that's great. Wang Shilong <wangshilong1...@gmail.com> sent me an automated checkpatch email I thought was not useful. Does anyone know of other checkpatch robots? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
