From fe56f507a11a72aeba7044a29653c049ce6c1374 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" Date: Mon, 15 May 2023 19:32:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Set minimal gtags / GNU GLOBAL version to 6.6.5 commit b230235b386589d8f0d631b1c77a95ca79bb0732 upstream. Kernel build now uses the gtags "-C (--directory)" option, available since GNU GLOBAL v6.6.5. Update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
