scripts/config/README

   1 These files were taken from the Linux 5.14 Kernel Configuration System and
   2 modified for the OpenWrt Buildroot:
   3  - Removed nconf, gconf, tests and kernel configuration targets.
   4  - Adjusted the Makefile to compile outside the kernel.
   5  - Always use default file when running make all{no,mod,yes}config.
   6  - Added a 'reset' command to reset config when the target changes.
   7  - Allow config reading from & writing to a different file.
   8  - Allow 'source' command to use globs to include multiple files.
   9  - Don't warn when selecting a symbol with unmet direct dependencies.
  10  - Don't write auto.conf and other files under include/ directory.
  11  - Reverted a commit to allow use of '/' & '.' in unquoted config symbols.
  12    There are too many of those in OpenWrt right now.
  13  - Reverted a commit that was issuing a warning when there were more than
  14    one help text.  This is used in a few packages to use different texts
  15    for the menuconfig help, and the ipkg package description.
  16  - Reverted an upstream change that avoids writing symbols that are not
  17    visible to .config, which breaks OpenWrt busybox's '.config' generation
  18    logic.
  19  - Treat recursive dependency as a warning only; add a --fatalrecursive
  20    option to conf to treat recursive deps as a fatal error.
  21  - Use pre-built *.lex.c *.tab.[ch] files by default, to avoid depending on
  22    flex & bison.  Rebuild/remove these files only if running make with
  23    BUILD_SHIPPED_FILES defined
