Kconfiglib.git, branch v11.8.0

Make 11.8.0 release

2019-05-29T00:50:48Z

Adds commit 437c6cc ("Use os.replace() if available in _save_old()"), which gives rename() semantics on Windows, avoiding copying the file. This was cherry-picked out of a larger change re. avoiding touching files whose contents haven't changed. Will come later.

Split out helper for writing symbols in write_config()

2019-05-29T00:47:59Z

Gives a better overview.

Use os.replace() if available in _save_old()

2019-05-29T00:47:44Z

Gives *nix rename() semantics on Windows, with overwriting of the target file. Also limit the scope of the catch-all try-except.

Convert docstrings to comments in testsuite.py

2019-05-29T00:47:44Z

Like was done a long time ago in kconfiglib.py. These functions are not part of a standalone API. Keep the docstrings for the compatibility tests, because those get printed as the tests run.

Make 11.7.0 release

2019-05-28T15:10:25Z

Adds commit 3aea9f7 ("Add '# end of ' after menus in .config"), which mirrors a change in the C tools. The compatibility tests now pass again for the latest kernel.

Explain why node_iter() is not a good fit for write_config()

2019-05-28T15:09:09Z

Add '# end of ' after menus in .config

2019-05-28T15:00:24Z

Mirrors commit aff11cd983ec ("kconfig: Terminate menu blocks with a comment in the generated config") in the kernel. This makes the compatibility tests pass again, and is handy.

Touch up write_autoconf() a bit

2019-05-28T15:00:00Z

Flatten, and unscrunch the bool/tristate case.

Comment location nit

2019-05-28T01:37:05Z

Consistent with the other ones.

KconfigError-related documentation nits

2019-05-27T19:52:54Z

Not just for syntax errors when raised from Kconfig.__init__().
