| |
i've attached a gzipped patch against 2.5.56 for reorganizing the filesystem menu under "make xconfig", and i'm certainly open to feedback/comments/criticism/large sums of money.
some points about this patch:
1) if anyone wants to carefully check the dependencies and make sure they're correct, that would be nice.
2) perhaps making sure the dependencies match the claims in the help screens would be helpful. i noticed that the help screens sometimes make dependency claims that are wildly untrue, but i didn't want to mess with that stuff yet as i wasn't totally comfortable.
3) much to my delight, i found out by accident that i can add leading asterisks to menu and config lines with no effect on the eventual config step -- this makes it wonderfully easy to edit and reorganize using emacs outline mode, particularly showing subdependencies.
is this just a fluke? obviously, it's easy enough to strip out the leading asterisks in the final version, but if they're not doing any harm, i'd just as soon leave them in.
thoughts?
