Correct. But at the same time I miss some functionality to tell me what a given symbol: 1) depends on 2) selects
It would be nice in menuconfig to see what config symbol that has dependencies and/or side effects.
[*] PCI support Could look like: [*]d PCI support The space for the 'd' tag could be misused for other purposes later.
The pressing 'd' would give me the following output:
C "The C prompt" -> depends on CONFIG_Z "Prompt for Z" -> depends on CONFIG_Y "Prompt for Y" -> Selects CONFIG_A "Promtp for A" -> depends on CONFIG_B "Prompt for B"
Or something similar. The idea is to give user an idea of dependencies (both ways) - recursive. Using both CONFIG symbol and prompt will give the user an idea where to locate it.
Something like this is on my wish list.
