2019-06-07genconfig: Code ordering nitUlf Magnusson
Match the order the flags are defined.
2019-06-07genconfig: Support generating lists of files and environment vars.Ulf Magnusson
This can be useful to avoid needless reconfiguration, by checking if any Kconfig file or environment variable has changed value before running genconfig.
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).
2019-05-31Leave unchanged output files untouchedUlf Magnusson
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.
2019-03-22Whitespace consistency nitUlf Magnusson
2019-03-22Convert some comments to module docstrings in utilitiesUlf Magnusson
This makes running pydoc(3) on the utilities helpful. Reuse the module docstring for the --help text for utilities that use argparse. Also fix some copy-paste errors in the all*config.py descriptions and clean up the language a bit. Piggyback removal of an optimization in allmodconfig.py that's pretty irrelevant now.
2019-03-06Use a consistent style in small utilitiesUlf Magnusson
Also remove some no longer used imports.
2019-03-06genconfig: Get rid of DESCRIPTION variableUlf Magnusson
Used in a single place.

2018-12-08genconfig: Do not generate *.old files for --config-outUlf Magnusson
Configuration files generated by --config-out would usually be an internal detail of the build system, so it's probably not helpful to generate *.old files for them. Pass save_old=False to write_config() to skip it.
2018-12-08Make {load,write}_config(filename=None) implement the standard behaviorUlf Magnusson
Make the previously obligatory 'filename' argument to load_config() and write_config() default to None, and have that implement the behavior you'd usually want: read/write either KCONFIG_CONFIG or ".config" if unset, and read the 'option defconfig_list' configuration file if KCONFIG_CONFIG/".config" doesn't exist. For load_config(), filename=None also allows the configuration file to be missing without raising an error. load_config() returns True if a local configuration file was loaded, which is useful to check in the menuconfig (if no local configuration file exists, we always want to prompt for saving the configuration when exiting). Also add a 'verbose' argument (default True) to load_config() and read_config() that makes them print which files were read/written in filename=None mode. Also generalize olddefconfig.py and oldconfig.py to not require there to already be a local configuration file. This was a bit silly for olddefconfig.py in particular. Remove the examples/defconfig.py script. It's a duplicate of olddefconfig.py.
2018-10-06Update genconfig usage descriptionUlf Magnusson
Didn't mention --config-out.
2018-10-03genconfig: Allow writing a full .config without incremental build infoUlf Magnusson
For projects that don't use incremental build information, it's a bit wasteful to generate it just to get an updated .config file to include in Makefiles. Add a '--config-out <filename>' option that just writes the updated .config file, for those cases. Also remove a redundant default=None argument for --sync-deps. None is the default value.
2018-06-22genconfig: Remove unused sys importUlf Magnusson
2018-06-06genconfig: Fix weird wording in descriptionUlf Magnusson
2018-06-06Add license tags to scriptsUlf Magnusson
Everything's ISC.
2018-06-05Turn syncconfig.py into genconfig.py and generate headerUlf Magnusson
There should be a script available that generates the output header for the build. It usually makes sense to generate both the header and any incremental build information at the same time (automatically during build), so roll them both into the same script.
