hello,
i know, typos aren't really what real programers are looking to fix first but if those aren't fixed, they would be reported ever and ever and ever ...
so, as i did not know what to do today, i started looking for a few common typos and found around 70 different ones over the 2.4.22 tree. (some only written once, others written several times)
as tracking typo is borring, i started to write a perl script that would :
- copy all files containing a know typo (from a separate file) from your local linux tree (parameter : $KERNEL_SOURCE_ROOT) to a local directory (parameter : $LOCAL_DIFF_DIR)
- replace all typo by its correct spelling for all know world
It's up to you to merge the diffs after the process is complete (around 1min for 74 different typos scanning complete 2.4.22 with a Athl2600+)
The script : http://www.leroutier.net/kernel-typo-diffmaker.pl.txt The typo list : http://www.leroutier.net/typos.base
(put them in the same dir)
then, look at the script (to see it won't "rm -fR / ; kill -9 0") rename .pl.txt file to .pl then chmod 755 on it edit both $KERNEL_SOURCE_ROOT and $LOCAL_DIFF_DIR to match your needs then again, ./kernel-typo-diffmaker.pl
$KERNEL_SOURCE_ROOT could be either your local kernel source dir or one of its sub-dirs (ex : /usr/src/linux-2.4.22/fs/ufs/)
if you find it useful, use it. if not, sorry.
