You can interchange them, but not remove them, unless there wasn't a dependency to begin with. Games with default values will break the next time a genius patch submitter comes around with his ideas how people configure kernels. PS: I still believe that the saner approach would be to carry only the dependencies, prompt texts and help texts in Kconfig files, maybe amended by new machine-readable markers regarding the role of an option. The presentation and ways to select and deselect should be entirely left to UIs. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== -=-= =-=-- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
