kconfig: new configuration interface (nconfig)

2010-02-02T13:33:55+00:00

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg). Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel, form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is currently distributed with the kernel. Signed-off-by: Nir Tzachar Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

menuconfig: wrap long help lines

2010-02-02T13:33:55+00:00

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text includes the names of all other options the option in question depends on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list without scrolling horizontally. This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word boundaries to prevent truncating. Tested by running ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

kconfig: do not hardcode "include/config/auto.conf" filename

2009-06-09T20:37:51+00:00

Regardless of KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG, the filename written as a Make target into "include/config/auto.conf.cmd" was always the default one. Of course this doesn't make it work for the Kernel kbuild system, since there the filename is hardcoded at several places in the Makefiles.

kconfig: set all new symbols automatically

2008-07-25T20:12:48+00:00

kconfig: environment symbol support

2008-01-28T22:14:39+00:00

Add the possibility to import a value from the environment into kconfig via the option syntax. Beside flexibility this has the advantage providing proper dependencies. Documented the options syntax. Signed-off-by: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig/menuconfig: do not hardcode '.config'

2007-05-02T18:58:09+00:00

Export and use the function conf_get_configname() to retreive the default configuration filename. Suggested by: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] kconfig: make sym_change_count static, let it be altered by 2 functions only

2006-12-13T17:05:48+00:00

Those two functions are void sym_set_change_count(int count) and void sym_add_change_count(int count) All write accesses to sym_change_count are replaced by calls to above functions. Variable and changer-functions are moved to confdata.c. IMO thats ok, as sym_change_count is an attribute of the .config's change state.

kconfig: KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG

2006-06-09T14:28:07+00:00

If you set KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG in environment, Kconfig will not break symlinks when .config is a symlink to somewhere else. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kconfig: add defconfig_list/module option

2006-06-09T05:31:30+00:00

This makes it possible to change two options which were hardcoded sofar. 1. Any symbol can now take the role of CONFIG_MODULES 2. The more useful option is to change the list of default file names, which kconfig uses to load the base configuration if .config isn't available.
