2020-01-12Make help for Kconfig file argument consistent in toolsUlf Magnusson
Say 'top-level' instea of 'base'.
2019-12-14Add Kconfig.__init__() helper flag for suppressing tracebacksUlf Magnusson
Tools that don't use standard_kconfig() currently generate spammy tracebacks for e.g. syntax errors. Add a suppress_traceback flag to Kconfig.__init__() for catching "expected" exceptions and printing them to stderr and exiting with status 1. Use it to make all tools consistently hide tracebacks.
2019-06-03Have load_config() and write_(min_)config() return messagesUlf Magnusson
Hardcoding load_config() and write_(min_)config() to write any message to stdout is awkward, because it means that the message can't be easily reused when stdout is the wrong place to write it to (e.g. in menuconfig/guiconfig). This gets extra bad now that there's also the "No change to ..." message. Modify load_config() and write_(min_)config() to return the message as a string instead, and have them always return a message, instead of just when 'filename' is None and verbose=True. This makes things flexible and straightforward. Use the new behavior in menuconfig.py and guiconfig.py. They now show "No change to ..." when saving a file doesn't modify it. Tools that want to write messages to stdout should now do print(kconf.load_config()) / print(kconf.write_config()). There's no clean way to preserve perfect backwards compatibility here, but keep accepting the 'verbose' argument and print a deprecation warning if a value is ever passed for it. That way, scripts will keep running, though possibly with less output on stdout. This changes the meaning of the load_config() return value as well, though I suspect it was only ever used by the menuconfig/guiconfig interfaces. The new behavior applies for kconfiglib.VERSION >= (12, 0, 0).
2019-04-27defconfig: Add scriptUlf Magnusson
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.
