Hi: I'm in an attempt to use kconfig for my project, and there are some other projects, such as uclibc, busybox, use a snapshot of kconfig to config themself. Why not make the kconfig to be an individual GPL project so the other projects will have not to include the source of kconfig with some modifications to use it? And there will be some other projects which want to access kernel config too, the best way is to use the same source with the kconfig in kernel. If both kernel and other 'kconfig' user share the same kconfig, it will be very easy to share the config files. All users of 'kconfig' can share the improvement of kconfig too if it is an individual project. Now I try to set up kconfig in an independent source tree, and make it to be a user-friendly, customizable C library. Python binding will be provided for the following reasons: * config program will be easier to be composed with script language. * There is no performance and size limitation on config program. Here is my current work, anybody can access it by: svn co https://ako.3322.org/svn/repos/svn-kconfig/trunk kconfig There is not many works now, I just copy the source from linux-2.6.15.6 and write a build script to compile it (by 'scons' which can be downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons-0.96.1.tar.gz ). A simple test program is added too. To install scons, just untar it and run 'python setup.py install' in the untarred directory. (Homepage of scons: http://www.scons.org/) To compile it, just run 'scons -u' in any directory of kconfig. Any comments are welcomed. Thanks.
