   1 These files were taken from the Linux Kernel Configuration System v6.6.16,
   2 at commit eb3e299184cc4f40d4bd84fda269b3a20ddcff80 (Feb 5, 2024),  and modified
   3 for the OpenWrt Buildroot:
   4  - Removed 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 warn when selecting a symbol with unmet direct dependencies.
  11  - Don't write auto.conf and other files under include/ directory.
  12  - Reverted a commit to allow use of '/' & '.' in unquoted config symbols.
  13    There are too many of those in OpenWrt right now.
  14  - Reverted a commit that was issuing a warning when there were more than
  15    one help text.  This is used in a few packages to use different texts
  16    for the menuconfig help, and the ipkg package description.
  17  - Reverted an upstream change that avoids writing symbols that are not
  18    visible to .config, which breaks OpenWrt busybox's '.config' generation
  19    logic.
  20  - Treat recursive dependency as a warning only; add a --fatalrecursive
  21    option to conf to treat recursive deps as a fatal error.
  22  - Use pre-built *.lex.c *.tab.[ch] files by default, to avoid depending on
  23    flex & bison.  Rebuild/remove these files only if running make with
  24    BUILD_SHIPPED_FILES defined
