* Documentation: process: replace outdated LTS table w/ linkNick Desaulniers2022-10-241-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing table was a bit outdated. 3.16 was EOL in 2020. 4.4 was EOL in 2022. 5.10 is new in 2020. 5.15 is new in 2021. We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022. Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.

* docs: Correct the release date of 5.2 stableBilly Wilson2020-08-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | A table lists the 5.2 stable release date as September 15, but it was released on July 7. This may confuse a reader who is trying to understand the stable update release cycle.

* Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: Documentation/processAlexander A. Klimov2020-06-261-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

* Documentation: bring process docs up to dateTony Fischetti2020-02-191-53/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The guide to the kernel dev process documentation, for example, contains references to older kernels and their timelines. In addition, one of the "long term support kernels" listed have since reached EOL, and a new one has been named. This patch brings information/tables up to date. Additionally, some very trivial grammatical errors, unclear sentences, and potentially unsavory diction have been edited.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Every once in a while, we should update the examples to reflect more recent kernel versions. Update the tables describing kernel releases, the merge window, and current longterm maintained kernel, from 2.6-era kernels to 4.x.
