Kconfiglib.git, branch v11.9.1

Make 11.9.1 release

2019-06-01T04:22:48Z

Fixes an obscure rsource crash, in commit 92791a3 ("Fix obscure crash with rsource and $srctree pointing to a symlink").

Fix obscure crash with rsource and $srctree pointing to a symlink

2019-06-01T04:21:54Z

Sourcing a file with an absolute path and using rsource in it triggered a relpath() between the absolute path and $srctree. Since e.g. symlink/../bar/ = bar/ is not guaranteed for symlinks, this could lead to the rsource'd file not being found if $srctree pointed to a symlink. Switch to a simpler, more textual method for stripping $srctree from glob results, which should be robust against symlink shenanigans. This also makes the code a bit easier to follow. Discovered by Marc Herbert. Piggyback some minor cleanup.

Make 11.9.0 release

2019-05-31T00:16:52Z

Adds commit 175c1f5 ("Leave unchanged output files untouched"). This avoids updating file modification timestamps when nothing has changed, which can make it easier to avoid triggering redundant rebuilds.

Remove some 'Note:'s, update some stuff.

Leave unchanged output files untouched

2019-05-30T22:08:14Z

Before writing a configuration file or header file, compare the old contents of the file against the new contents. If there's no change, skip the write, to avoid updating the file modification time. This might avoid triggering redundant rebuilds depending on how the build system is set up, and could allow for a simpler setup.

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.
