I think you should. The README provides good info on configuring, building and installing the kernel and other bits that will be useful to new kernel developers. Similarly the Documentation/Changes document provides important info on required versions of tools needed to build and/or use the kernel. Making new developers aware of this info is important so they can verify their environment is up-to-date for the kernel version they work on. -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
