From: Cheng Renquan Subject: [PATCH 0/6] [KBUILD] configuration system improvements This group of patches improve the usability of kernel configuration system, mainly, 1. add symbol's value shown accompanied in config item's help message; 2. move the real plumbing functions code from mconf.c to menu.c, make them be able to be shared with other configuration methods; 3. add "symbol's value shown" support for gconfig/xconfig/config; 0001--KBUILD-add-symbol-value-to-help-find-the-real-depe.patch 0002--KBUILD-add-menu_get_ext_help-function-to-display-m.patch 0003--KBUILD-menuconfig-improvements.patch 0004--KBUILD-make-use-of-menu_get_ext_help-in-gconfig.patch 0005--KBUILD-make-use-of-menu_get_ext_help-in-qconfig.patch 0006--KBUILD-make-use-of-menu_get_ext_help-in-make-conf.patch I found gconfig still lack of "search by symbol" support, and that would be in another patch. Request for comments, thanks. -- Cheng Renquan, Shenzhen, China
