Kconfiglib.git, branch v10.32.1

Make 10.32.1 release

2018-12-08T13:48:19Z

Adds commit e8f9751 ("genconfig: Do not generate *.old files for --config-out"), which gets rid some probably redundant .config.old files.

genconfig: Do not generate *.old files for --config-out

2018-12-08T13:44:27Z

Configuration files generated by --config-out would usually be an internal detail of the build system, so it's probably not helpful to generate *.old files for them. Pass save_old=False to write_config() to skip it.

Simplify 'verbose' check in write_config()

Make 10.32.0 release

2018-12-08T04:06:55Z

- Commit 3cc2f9f ("listnewconfig: Add script") adds 'make listnewconfig' functionality. The new script is bundled in the pip install. - Commit 78073d6 ("Preserve symlinks when writing .config.old files") avoids stomping on symlinks when writing configuration files.

Preserve symlinks when writing .config.old files

2018-12-08T03:54:47Z

if .config is a symlink, then the intention is probably to overwrite the target, but rename()ing the symlink to .config.old interferes with that. Use the shutil.copyfile() fallback instead if .config is a symlink.

listnewconfig: Add script

Mirrors 'make listnewconfig' in the C tools.

Make 10.31.0 release

2018-12-08T02:30:05Z

Adds two improvements related to configuration files: - Commit 166be7d ("Save existing configuration to ..old in write_config()") - Commit 7b4f72f ("Make {load,write}_config(filename=None) implement the standard behavior")

Make {load,write}_config(filename=None) implement the standard behavior

2018-12-08T02:28:52Z

Make the previously obligatory 'filename' argument to load_config() and write_config() default to None, and have that implement the behavior you'd usually want: read/write either KCONFIG_CONFIG or ".config" if unset, and read the 'option defconfig_list' configuration file if KCONFIG_CONFIG/".config" doesn't exist. For load_config(), filename=None also allows the configuration file to be missing without raising an error. load_config() returns True if a local configuration file was loaded, which is useful to check in the menuconfig (if no local configuration file exists, we always want to prompt for saving the configuration when exiting). Also add a 'verbose' argument (default True) to load_config() and read_config() that makes them print which files were read/written in filename=None mode. Also generalize olddefconfig.py and oldconfig.py to not require there to already be a local configuration file. This was a bit silly for olddefconfig.py in particular. Remove the examples/defconfig.py script. It's a duplicate of olddefconfig.py.

Save existing configuration to ..old in write_config()

2018-12-07T23:14:42Z

Add a default-True 'save_old' flag to write_config(). If 'save_old' is True and an existing configuration file is being overwritten, a copy of the old configuration file is saved to ..old (e.g. .config.old) in the same directory. Errors are ignored, as the old configuration would usually just be a nice-to-have, and not essential. The same functionality could be added for minimal configuration files and headers, but it's probably most useful for configuration files.
