2007-09-01kconfig: oldconfig shall not set symbols if it does not need toRoman Zippel
Avoid setting the value if the symbol doesn't need to be changed or can't be changed. Later choices may change the dependencies and thus the possible input range. make oldconfig from a 2.6.22 .config with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set was in some configurations setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y without asking, even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU.

This patch does this and at the same time introduce a few API funtions used to access the help text. The relevant api functions are introduced in the various frontends.

2007-05-02kbuild: be more explicit on missing .config fileRandy Dunlap
Somewhat in reponse to kernel bugzilla #8197, be more explicit about why 'make all' fails when there is no .config file. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-12-13[PATCH] kconfig: new function "bool conf_get_changed(void)"Karsten Wiese
Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree. Look at the floppy disk icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active state. Mouse click on it: .config is being saved. This patch series changes things so taht after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out. If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens. If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state", that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written. This patch: Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state. All read only accesses of sym_change_count are replaced by calls to conf_get_changed() . mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when conf_get_changed() returned true.

2006-06-09kconfig: fix .config dependenciesRoman Zippel
This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used to check and regenerate the .config file. This was done via an indirect dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make not to reread the changed .config file. Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from .config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies. It's also the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus replaces include/linux/autoconf.h). This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e. silentoldconfig only writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

2005-11-09[PATCH] kconfig: preset config during all*configRoman Zippel
Allow to force setting of config variables during all{no,mod,yes,random}config to a specific value. For that conf first checks the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG environment variable for a file name, otherwise it checks for all{no,mod,yes,random}.config and all.config. The file is a normal config file, which presets the config variables, but they are still subject to normal dependency checks.

2005-05-05[PATCH] Kconfig i18n supportArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the config process in their own language. No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports, kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure the kernel are internationalized. Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG, LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english, something like: LANG= make menuconfig is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't install any translation file. Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of volunteers at: http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes To start the translation process: make update-po-config This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot, copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish. To test your translation, as root issue this command: msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po Replace "es" with your language code. Then execute, for instance: make menuconfig The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any kind of keying. Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese) translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on the first translation, to pt_BR. I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
