You are whining about something that has been true of the kernel config system for at least the last 16 years that I've been working on it, You're *right*, of course, but you're getting on my tits by whining about it only *now*, in this context. At least I have offered *an* error message reporting that the request was not honoured, which is a whole lot better that we've been used to. Please, if this offends you then by all means go and fix it. A sane way of handling dependencies would give a way to say "do what you need to do in order to enable CONFIG_SATA_MV", and should remove the abomination of 'select', which was introduced purely to work around that lack. But none of that is directly relevant in *this* thread. -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
