[PATCH] autofs - make autofs4 Kconfig depend on AUTOFS_FS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Setting AUTOFS_FS and AUTOFS4_FS to y or m results in a compile
failure.

It isn't possible to unset one if the other is set because it
introduces a circular dependency.

But adding "depends on AUTOFS_FS = n && AUTOFS_FS != m" will make
autofs4 appear under the autofs entry which should call attention
to it. It also results in AUTOFS4_FS being removed from .config
for any setting of AUTOFS_FS except n.

Adding a "NOTE" to the AUTOFS4_FS help text will hopefully raise
awareness of the change to smooth the transition.
