Adds a Python 2/3-compatible GUI menuconfig, in commit 9be6b7b ("guiconfig: Add a Tkinter-based menuconfig"). See that commit and the updated README for a longer description.

guiconfig: Add a Tkinter-based menuconfig

2019-05-03T04:01:37Z

This is a graphical configuration interface written in Tkinter. Like menuconfig.py, it supports showing all symbols (with invisible symbols in red) and jumping directly to symbols. Symbol values can also be changed directly from the jump-to dialog. When single-menu mode is enabled, a single menu is shown at a time, like in the terminal menuconfig. Only this mode distinguishes between symbols defined with 'config' and symbols defined with 'menuconfig'. Compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. Has been tested on X11, Windows, and macOS. To avoid having to carry around a bunch of GIFs, the image data is embedded in guiconfig.py. To use separate GIF files instead, change _USE_EMBEDDED_IMAGES to False. The image files can be found in https://github.com/ulfalizer/Kconfiglib/tree/screenshots/guiconfig. A new `make guiconfig` target in the Makefile patch will run the GUI configuration interface on the Linux kernel.

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()

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.

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