scripts/config/README

   1 These files were taken from the Linux Kernel Configuration System at commit
   2 089b7d890f972f6b649fedc9259f6b93a18fb970 (Feb 4, 2020) and modified for the
   3 OpenWrt Buildroot:
   4  - removed nconf, gconf, tests and kernel configuration targets
   5  - adjusted the Makefile to compile outside the kernel
   6  - always use default file when running make all{no,mod,yes}config
   7  - added a 'reset' command to reset config when the target changes
   8  - allow config reading from & writing to a different file
   9  - allow 'source' command to use globs to include multiple files
  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  - add a compilation option (-DWARN_RECURSIVE_DEP) to treat recursive deps
  20    as a warning, avoiding a complete build failure because of unrelated or
  21    minor recursive deps, or making a scrict check before commiting a change
  22    that may cause one.
  23  - use pre-built *.lex.c *.tab.[ch] files by default, to avoid depending on
  24    flex & bison.  Rebuild/remove these files only if running make with
  25    BUILD_SHIPPED_FILES defined
