Hello All! I am glad to announce the kconfig-frontends' first release ever! kconfig-frontends-3.3.0-0 was released today, right after the corresponding Linux kernel was released! Go download it there: http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/download/kconfig-frontends/kconfig-frontends-3.3.0-0.tar.xz The kconfig-frontends (temporary) home is at: http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends The kconfig-frontends project aims at centralising the effort of keeping an up-to-date, out-of-tree, packaging of the kconfig infrastructure, ready for use by third-party projects. The kconfig-frontends package provides the kconfig parser, as well as all the frontends, packaged using the traditional autotools, so the kconfig infrastructure is easy to deploy, either locally or system-wide. What you get with kconfig-frontends: - all five frontends: conf, mconf, nconf, gconf and qconf - a shared and/or static library and the headers for the parser, so any one can build their own frontend - the standard "./configure && make && make install" dance - an easy way to sync from a newer kernel - a bit of documentation kconfig-frontends is not meant to replace the in-tree Linux kconfig (at least in the foreseeable future!), but really targets third-party projects that want an easy path to following the evolution of kconfig, without the burden to manually synchronise occasionally. The plans for the future are: - release with every Linux kernel dot-0 release - release with every Linux kernel dot-release if there are kconfig fixes - release to fix blocking issues with the packaging - find a proper home (mid-term) - migrate the repository to git (short-term) - improve the documentation! Any comment, any feedback is welcome! ;-) Note: kconfig-frontends is only about the kconfig language: the parser and the frontends; it's not about kbuild, the Linux kernel build infrastructure.
