It is such, but deep in ncurses/lxdialog wrappers. Having more flexible TUI without all past stereotypes is the major point in making any progress for flexible configuration interface. Remember, how blind `select` hurts. It does due to UI limitations in first place, IMHO. > 2) We need to share much more Kconfig* between the individual architectures > First step is to let all arch's use drivers/Kconfig All syntax wars are over, now order is the second thing to achieve. Like in x86 merge case, this is purely technical thing with a bit of manual work after that. sed magic for (nearly any kind :) of textual processing i can guarantee without (yet another) C (like fixdep.c, parts of sumversion.c, etc.) > Let's get the two items above solved then we can revisit adding arch selection > to kconfig (where it belongs in the end). > And neither require a rewrite of kconfig... Since i try to do test driven development, it's more easy for me to understand/fix/test today's things via making bits from scratch. Fresh view can do more on debugging of the logic level also. ____ - 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/
