It's the same number of lines, they're just in a new place. Basically you replace A... depends on B by B... serves A The latter variant is a pain to maintain. Dependencies change over time, therefore we should note the dependency always at the dependent option, not at the serving option. Iterating upwards and downwards the dependency graph is the duty of "make snafuconfig", not of the maintainers. Besides, the "serves" form cannot stand in for constructs like A... depends on (B && C) || D -- 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/
