Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 21:08:48 +0200 From: Stefan Beller <stefanbeller@...glemail.com> To: linux-doc@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: miss-leading help in configuration options I was configuring a kernel build and stumbled across some options, which default to [n], but the help says "If unsure, say Y". Also the other way round defaulting to [y], but the help saying "If unsure, say N". So now I am really unsure, what to pick. Here is a list of options, which I found with a script to have such unsure help: ./arch/blackfin/Kconfig.debug config DEBUG_DOUBLEFAULT ./arch/sh/mm/Kconfig config SCHED_MC ./arch/sparc/Kconfig config SCHED_SMT config SERIAL_CONSOLE ./arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu config CPU_SUP_AMD config CPU_SUP_CENTAUR config CPU_SUP_CYRIX_32 config CPU_SUP_INTEL config CPU_SUP_TRANSMETA_32 config CPU_SUP_UMC_32 ./drivers/input/touchscreen/Kconfig config TOUCHSCREEN_DA9034 config TOUCHSCREEN_USB_EASYTOUCH ./drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/Kconfig config STMMAC_PLATFORM ./fs/ext3/Kconfig config EXT3_FS_XATTR ./fs/ext4/Kconfig config EXT4_FS_XATTR ./fs/notify/fanotify/Kconfig config FANOTIFY ./lib/Kconfig.debug config RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE ./mm/Kconfig config CLEANCACHE config FRONTSWAP ./net/ipv4/Kconfig config INET_UDP_DIAG ./net/Kconfig config BRIDGE_NETFILTER ./net/unix/Kconfig config UNIX_DIAG -- 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/
