Subject: [PATCH 6.1 10/11] docs: Set minimal gtags / GNU GLOBAL version to 6.6.5
Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2023 20:54:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230703184519.424897496@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230703184519.121965745@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwi@linutronix.de>
commit b230235b386589d8f0d631b1c77a95ca79bb0732 upstream.
Kernel build now uses the gtags "-C (--directory)" option, available
since GNU GLOBAL v6.6.5. Update the documentation accordingly.
