2018-05-10scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: rewrite it in perl with auto-fix modeMauro Carvalho Chehab1-12/+113
The original shell script works, but: 1) it is too slow; 2) it is hard to exclude rejex patterns Convert it to perl. Here, the new version is able to check the entire tree in less than a second (after cached): real 0m0,284s user 0m0,668s sys 0m0,778s The old version takes more than a minute to complete (also after cached): real 1m17,905s user 0m25,583s sys 0m55,334s It also produce less false-positives (if any). The new script also contains an auto-fix mode. Usually, file references get lost when they're moved to some other place and/or renamed to .rst. Add an experimental mode to auto-fix those.

2017-10-12Documentation: add script and build target to check for broken file referencesJani Nikula1-0/+15
Add a simple script and build target to do a treewide grep for references to files under Documentation, and report the non-existing file in stderr. It tries to take into account punctuation not part of the filename, and wildcards, but there are bound to be false positives too. Mostly seems accurate though. We've moved files around enough to make having this worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
