scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add patch/file search for keywords

2009-10-29T14:39:26Z

Based on an idea from Wolfram Sang. Add search for MAINTAINERS line "K:" regex pattern match in a patch or file Matches are added after file pattern matches Add --keywords command line switch (default 1, on) Change version to 0.21 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: Wolfram Sang Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add maintainers in order listed in matched section

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

Previous behavior was "bottom-up" in each section from the pattern "F:" entry that matched. Now information is entered into the various lists in the "as entered" order for each matched section. This also allows the F: entry to be put anywhere in a section, not just as the last entries in the section. And a couple of improvements: Don't alphabetically sort before outputting the matched scm, status, subsystem and web sections. Ignore content after a single email address so these entries are acceptable M: name

whatever other comment And a fix: Make an M: entry without a name again use the name from an immediately preceding P: line if it exists. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --remove-duplicates

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

Allow control over the elimination of duplicate email names and addresses --remove-duplicates will use the first email name or address presented --noremove-duplicates will emit all names and addresses --remove-duplicates is enabled by default For instance: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c Greg Kroah-Hartman Alan Cox Mike Frysinger Alexey Dobriyan linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --noremove-duplicates drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c Greg Kroah-Hartman Alan Cox Alan Cox Alan Cox Mike Frysinger Alexey Dobriyan linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Using --remove-duplicates could eliminate multiple maintainers that share the same name but not the same email address.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: using --separator implies --nomultiline

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

If a person sets a separator, it's only used if --nomultiline is set. Don't make the command line also include --nomultiline in that case. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add .mailmap use, shell and email cleanups

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

Add reading and using .mailmap file if it exists Convert address entries in .mailmap to first encountered address Don't terminate shell commands with \n Strip characters found after sign-offs by: name

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: better email routines, use perl not shell where possible

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

Added format_email and parse_email routines to reduce inline use. Added email_address_inuse to eliminate multiple maintainer entries for the same email address, the first name encountered is used. Used internal perl equivalents of shell cmd use of grep|cut|sort|uniq Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --pattern-depth

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

--pattern-depth is used to control how many levels of directory traversal should be performed to find maintainers. default is 0 (all directory levels). For instance: MAINTAINERS currently has multiple M: and F: entries that match net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c IPVS M: Wensong Zhang M: Simon Horman M: Julian Anastasov [...] F: net/netfilter/ipvs/ NETFILTER/IPTABLES/IPCHAINS [...] M: Patrick McHardy [...] F: net/netfilter/ NETWORKING [GENERAL] M: "David S. Miller" [...] F: net/ THE REST M: Linus Torvalds [...] F: */ Using this command will return all of those maintainers: (except Linus unless --git-chief-maintainers is specified) $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -nol \ -f net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c Julian Anastasov Simon Horman Wensong Zhang Patrick McHardy David S. Miller Adding --pattern-depth=1 will match at the deepest level $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -nol --pattern-depth=1 \ -f net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c Julian Anastasov Simon Horman Wensong Zhang Adding --pattern-depth=2 will match at the deepest level and 1 higher $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -nol --pattern-depth=2 \ -f net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_app.c Julian Anastasov Simon Horman Wensong Zhang Patrick McHardy and so on.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add sections in pattern match depth order

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

Before this change, matched sections were added in the order of appearance in the normally alphabetic section order of the MAINTAINERS file. For instance, finding the maintainer for drivers/scsi/wd7000.c would first find "SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "WD7000 SCSI SUBSYSTEM", then "THE REST". before patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c James E.J. Bottomley Miroslav Zagorac linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org get_maintainer.pl now selects matched sections by longest pattern match. Longest is the number of "/"s and any specific file pattern. This changes the example output order of MAINTAINERS to whatever is selected in "WD7000 SUBSYSTEM", then "SCSI SYSTEM", then "THE REST". after patch: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit -f drivers/scsi/wd7000.c Miroslav Zagorac James E.J.

scripts/get_maintainer.pl: add --git-blame

2009-09-22T14:17:46Z

Julia Lawall suggested that get_maintainers.pl should have the ability to include signatories of commits that are modified by a particular patch. Vegard Nossum did something similar once. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/29/449 The modified script looks the commits for all lines in the patch, and includes the "-by:" signatories for those commits. It uses the same git-min-percent, git-max-maintainers, and git-min-signatures options. git-since is ignored. It can be used independently from the --git default, so ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame or ./scripts/get_maintainers.pl --nogit --git-blame -f is acceptable. If used with -f , all lines/commits for the file are checked. --git-blame can be slow if used with -f --git-blame does not work with -f Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
