2012-12-06Revert "kconfig-language: add to hints"Yann E. MORIN1-23/+0
This reverts commit 64b81ed7fb1e45c914317b20316f32827bc6444b. As Martin says about this paragraph: However, I can not reproduce this. The attached file contains both cases. [...] AFAICS, both versions behave equivalently. I suggest changing the documentation accordingly.

2010-12-21Documentation/kbuild: add info that 'choice' can have a symbol nameYann E. MORIN1-1/+5
Changeset 5a1aa8a1 added the possibility to name a choice, and to have the same choice be defined multiple times. But the documentation was forgotten, so this updates it accordingly.

2010-09-19kconfig: implement the `mainmenu' directiveArnaud Lacombe1-1/+2
If specified, the directive must be placed at the top of the Kconfig file. We need to change the grammar to make the mainmenu directive set the `rootmenu' prompt. This reflect how menu_add_prompt() works internally, ie. set the prompt of the `current_entry', pointing originally to `rootmenu'.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+282
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
