Message-Id: <1161583368.31851.116.camel@localhost.localdomain> Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2006 23:02:48 -0700 From: Don Mullis <dwm@...r.net> To: lkml <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: rdunlap@...otime.net, akpm@...l.org, sam@...nborg.org, gregkh@...e.de, kristen.c.accardi@...el.com Subject: [PATCH] Kconfig refactoring for better menu nesting Refactor Kconfig content to maximize nesting of menus by menuconfig and xconfig. Tested by simultaneously running `make xconfig` with and without patch, and comparing displays. Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <dwm@...r.net> Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...otime.net> --- The claim is that this helps the user's understanding of options -- but since options are reordered, experts on particular subsystems might disagree in some instances.
