But very slow, complex and not enough powerful: The tools should have extensive knowledge about Kconfig, and the CONFIG_ dependencies; it should handle a lot of structures (text/binary; line/record oriented; etc.), which it is not easy in shell (awk, od, sed with extended regexp are not core utilities). So my suggestion is: do it in a high level language, to find and stabilize the design, and then integrate it in kconfig later (using C). ciao cate -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
