doc/usage:Warning from PATMAN tool prevents uploading a cmd-usage help file for askenv

Hi Heinrich,
Having prepared the documentation for "askenv" man page , getting stuck with a warning (PATMAN tool )to submit the patch. --------------------------------- $git add doc/usage/askenv.rst $git commit $./tools/patman/patman -c1 send -n ---------------------------------- vb@vb:~/uboot/temp/u-boot$ ./tools/patman/patman -c1 send -n WARNING: Unknown setting ignore_warnings Cleaned 1 patch WARNING:FILE_PATH_CHANGES: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating? #16: new file mode 100644 total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 87 lines checked

But I would do this:
Send a total of 1 patch with no cover letter. 0001-testing.patch Cc: GitAuthor: Adarsh Babu Kalepalli opensource.kab@gmail.com To: u-boot@lists.denx.de Version: None Prefix: None Email would not be sent ------------------------------------------------- How do I update maintainers about this new file ??.
It was noticed that modifying *my %ignore_type = ();* to *my %ignore_type = (FILE_PATH_CHANGES);*
skipped generating this warning message.
How do I overcome this blocker??,Please advise.
Regards, Adarsh

Just use 'git send-email'.
Tom Rini trini@konsulko.com is the maintainer for 'THE REST'. Put him on copy, please.
Best regards
