[PATCH] kconfig: new function "bool conf_get_changed(void)"

2006-12-13T17:05:48+00:00

Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree.  Look at the floppy disk
icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active
state.

Mouse click on it: .config is being saved.

This patch series changes things so taht
after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out.
If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens.

If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state",
that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written.

This patch:

Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state.
All read only accesses of
	sym_change_count
are replaced by calls to
	conf_get_changed()
.
mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when
conf_get_changed() returned true.

kconfig/menuconfig: do not let ncurses clutter screen on exit

2006-09-30T09:19:20+00:00

Do not initialize ncurses twice - it causes unpredicable
results. My display was sometimes weird after running
make menuconfig and I had to execute 'reset' to properly
restore my display.

kconfig/lxdialog: support resize

2006-09-30T09:19:20+00:00

In all dialogs now properly catch KEY_RESIZE and take proper action.
In mconf try to behave sensibly when a dialog routine returns
-ERRDISPLAYTOOSMALL.

The original check for a screnn size of 80x19 is kept for now.
It may make sense to remove it later, but thats anyway what
much text is adjusted for.

kconfig/lxdialog: let behave as expected

2006-09-30T09:19:20+00:00

 is used to step one back in the dialogs.
When lxdialog became built-in pressing  once would cause one step back
and pressing  would cause two steps back.
This patch - based on concept from Roman Zippel  -
makes one  a noop and pressing  will cause one step backward.

In addition the final yes/no dialog now has the option to go back to the
the kernel configuration. So if you get too far out you can now go back
to configuring the kernel without saving and starting all over again.

kconfig/menuconfig: lxdialog is now built-in

2006-09-30T09:19:19+00:00

lxdialog was previously called as an external program causing screen
to flicker when used. With this patch lxdialog is now built-in.
It is loosly based om previous work by:  Petr Baudis 

Following is a list of changes:
o Moved build of dialog routings to kconfig Makefile
o menubox + checklist uses a new item list to hold all menu items
o in util.c implmented helper function to deal with item list
o menubox now uses parameters to save scroll state (avoids temp file)
o textbox now get text to be displayed as parameter and not a file
o make sure to properly delete subwin's before main windows
o killed unused files: lxdialog.c msgbox.c
o modified return value for ESC to match direct calling
o in a few places the code has been adjusted to 80 char wide
o in textbox a small refactoring was made to make code remotely readable
o in mconf removed all unused stuff (functions/variables)

Following is a list of know short comings:
a) pressing ESC twice will be interpreted as two ESC presses
b) resize does not work. menuconfig needs to be restarted to be adjusted

kconfig/lxdialog: add a new theme bluetitle which is now default

2006-09-30T09:19:19+00:00

The bluetitle theme is a slightly modified version of the colorscheme
that -mm users has been used to. The bluetitle is more readable especially
on some LCD screens so it is now default.
Anyone that really wants the old color selection can get it by selecting
the classic color theme:
make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=classic menuconfig

The bluetitle theme was modified by Roman Zippel 
to further improve readability on LCD screens.

kbuild: create .kernelrelease at *config step

2006-01-16T11:12:12+00:00

To enable 'make kernelrelease' earlier now create .kernelrelease when
one of the *config targets are used.
Also introduce KERNELVERSION - only user is kconfig.
KERNELVERSION was needed to display kernel version in menuconfig -
KERNELRELEASE is not valid until configuration has completed.
kconfig files modified to use KERNELVERSION.
