Yep, we always needed another kconfig maintainer (Sam's being mostly busy with kbuild), and it's nice to see that Steve volunteered for that job now! ;-) Ingo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I've created a new repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-kconfig.git and the same changes are in the branch: for-next I still need to do the testing. -- Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'm wondering, what do you think about Vegard's 'warn about complex selects' feature for kconfig which he submitted some time ago: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/4/13 That's a really sore kconfig spot we have. It's not a bug, but it sure bites people again and again, and it would be nice to have some built-in mechanism that gently nudges us away from complex selects. (many of which are inadvertent or become complex after the fact) Ingo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

We need to be careful about kicking out too many warnings. Perhaps a "make configcheck" is in order that will do various checks. This is very similar to my check for select dependency error patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/21/2 I may take a look at getting both of these in (or a merge of the two). -- Steve ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
