Kconfiglib.git, branch v11.0.0

Make 11.0.0 release

2019-04-30T20:36:58Z

Simplifies the filename calculation for .old files, in commit 4fed39d ("Never prepend '.' to $KCONFIG_CONFIG.old"). This makes it reliable to refer to the backup file as $KCONFIG_CONFIG.old in scripts. This is a backwards-incompatible change when $KCONFIG_CONFIG is set to a filename that does not start with a '.', so the major version is increased. Note that $KCONFIG_CONFIG is usually set to /.config, so few people should be affected.

Never prepend '.' to $KCONFIG_CONFIG.old

In retrospect, trying to be "helpful" by saving the old version of a $KCONFIG_CONFIG that does not start with a '.' as e.g. '.config.old' instead of 'config.old' is a bad idea, because it means that scripts can't rely on the backup file simply being called $KCONFIG_CONFIG.old. I spotted this causing compatibility issues in https://github.com/automate-lfs/jhalfs/commit/a645174fd43ba4eee84089965df85785878e7aa6. I had Vim backup files and the like in mind originally, but .config.old is much more likely to be processed by scripts. This is a small backwards compatibility break, so the major version will be increased to 11.

Makes sync_deps() safe to use in threaded scripts, in commit a664a6d ("Avoid chdir()ing in sync_deps()").

Avoid chdir()ing in sync_deps()

2019-04-28T15:36:54Z

Temporarily changing the working directory is iffy if threads are involved, since other code will see the change. Seems like a generally rude thing for a random library function to do. dir_fd (open() relative to directory) is another option, but it's Python 3 only, only available on the low-level os.open() interface, and might not be universally supported.

Make 10.50.1 release

Fixes an obscure menuconfig display issue, in commit 4b387e0 ("menuconfig: Fix display issue for unsatisfied-deps selected symbol with children").

Remove redundant comment in _auto_menu_dep()

2019-04-28T02:16:49Z

Says the same thing the comment above it says.

menuconfig: Fix display issue for unsatisfied-deps selected symbol with children

2019-04-28T02:15:03Z

A symbol with unsatisfied direct dependencies can end up with visible children in an implicit submenu if it is selected (though that generates a warning), so the optimization in _shown_nodes() isn't safe, and causes the child nodes to not be shown outside show-all mode. Just remove the optimization. Trying things out some more, everything's plenty fast enough anyway. Checking the direct dependencies of the parent instead would be safe.

Make 10.50.0 release

2019-04-27T13:10:20Z

Adds a simple utility for initializing the configuration from an existing configuration, in commit 4f1674f ("defconfig: Add script").

defconfig: Add script

2019-04-27T13:09:08Z

Simple script for initializing the configuration from an existing configuration file (usually a minimal configuration). Just copying the minimal configuration to .config would usually work, due to Kconfig semantics, but having it be a full configuration file from the start might be handier and less confusing.
