kconfig/menuconfig: distinguish between selected-by-another options and comments

2007-10-12T19:20:33+00:00

menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select'
directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'.  Unfortunately the same
notation is used for comments.  If the implied option is module capable,
user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she
visits option's help.  (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling
CFG80211)

This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2
new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by
another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for
options that cannot be at the moment changed by user.

The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes)
around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.

kconfig: fix segv fault in menuconfig

2007-10-12T19:15:32+00:00

With specific configurations requesting help for certain
menu lines caused menuconfig to crash.
This was tracked down to a null pointer bug.
Thanks to "Miles Lane"  for inital reporting
and to Gabriel C  for the backtrace
that helped me locating the bug.

This patch does this and at the same time introduce a few API
funtions used to access the help text.

The relevant api functions are introduced in the various frontends.

kconfig: strip 'CONFIG_' automatically in kernel configuration search

2007-07-17T12:24:55+00:00

Modify the ncurses configuration tool ('make menuconfig') in a way that the
user can enter the search string (/) both with or without the leading
'CONFIG_'.

This simplifies using copy & paste from .config files because you can
select the whole word.

menuconfig: remember alternate config filename

2007-05-02T18:58:09+00:00

When loading an alternate configuration use that file as
current configuration filename.
Make the filename visible in the dialog.
Default continue to be .config.

[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.
