My plan is to convert the current configuration into a new format (I have a tool for that), which is more flexible and will allow that all needed information to configure/build a driver is at a single place. It currently looks like this: config BLK_DEV_SD depends SCSI tristate "SCSI disk support" help If you want to use a SCSI hard disk ... More information can be added later to this. The current parsers will all be replaced with a single parser, actually it's a library that does all the work and which allows multiple front ends to behave identical. bye, Roman - 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/
