Subject: [PATCH/RFC 0/4] user remarks for config symbols
- RFC -
--- Comments, Reviews, Test reports, Notes, everything welcome ---
Hi,
I recently had the need to create a documentation for a kernel config,
and decided to extend the kernel config tool(s) to allow me to do that
with minium effort.
Specifically, I extended make xconfig (and now also others) for editing
a remark per config symbol and I created a config2html frontend to the
kconfig lib which outputs the config options with their comments to a
HTML table.
Besides that, it was sometimes been interesting to be able to add a
note for some config choices in order to see that note again when
revisiting that config choice again later.
So I hope that the patches which I created could be useable by the
greater Linux community, and hereby, I submit them for discussion
and if liked, for inclusion.
Thanks,
Bernhard Kaindl
