Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] docs: Set minimal gtags / GNU GLOBAL version to 6.6.5
Date: Tue,  9 May 2023 03:26:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230509012616.81579-3-darwi@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230509012616.81579-1-darwi@linutronix.de>

Kernel build now uses the gtags "-C (--directory)" option, available
since GNU GLOBAL v6.6.5.  Update the documentation accordingly.
