b5d609dbfa kconfig/menuconfig: distinguish between selected-by-another options and comments
menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select'
directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'.  Unfortunately the same
notation is used for comments.  If the implied option is module capable,
user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she
visits option's help.  (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling
CFG80211)

This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2
new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by
another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for
options that cannot be at the moment changed by user.

The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes)
around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.

This patch does this and at the same time introduce a few API
funtions used to access the help text.

The relevant api functions are introduced in the various frontends.

0584f9f9cb kconfig: strip 'CONFIG_' automatically in kernel configuration search
Modify the ncurses configuration tool ('make menuconfig') in a way that the
user can enter the search string (/) both with or without the leading
'CONFIG_'.

This simplifies using copy & paste from .config files because you can
select the whole word.

b321429325 [PATCH] kconfig: new function "bool conf_get_changed(void)"
Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree.  Look at the floppy disk
icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active
state.

Mouse click on it: .config is being saved.

This patch series changes things so taht
after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out.
If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens.

If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state",
that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written.

This patch:

Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state.
All read only accesses of
	sym_change_count
are replaced by calls to
	conf_get_changed()
.
mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when
conf_get_changed() returned true.

c8dc68ad0f kconfig/lxdialog: support resize
In all dialogs now properly catch KEY_RESIZE and take proper action.
In mconf try to behave sensibly when a dialog routine returns
-ERRDISPLAYTOOSMALL.

The original check for a screnn size of 80x19 is kept for now.
It may make sense to remove it later, but thats anyway what
much text is adjusted for.

f3cbcdc955 kconfig/lxdialog: let <ESC><ESC> behave as expected
<ESC><ESC> is used to step one back in the dialogs.
When lxdialog became built-in pressing <ESC> once would cause one step back
and pressing <ESC><ESC> would cause two steps back.
This patch - based on concept from Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> -
makes one <ESC> a noop and pressing <ESC><ESC> will cause one step backward.

In addition the final yes/no dialog now has the option to go back to the
the kernel configuration. So if you get too far out you can now go back
to configuring the kernel without saving and starting all over again.

2982de6993 kconfig/menuconfig: lxdialog is now built-in
lxdialog was previously called as an external program causing screen
to flicker when used. With this patch lxdialog is now built-in.
It is loosly based om previous work by:  Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>

Following is a list of changes:
o Moved build of dialog routings to kconfig Makefile
o menubox + checklist uses a new item list to hold all menu items
o in util.c implmented helper function to deal with item list
o menubox now uses parameters to save scroll state (avoids temp file)
o textbox now get text to be displayed as parameter and not a file
o make sure to properly delete subwin's before main windows
o killed unused files: lxdialog.c msgbox.c
o modified return value for ESC to match direct calling
o in a few places the code has been adjusted to 80 char wide
o in textbox a small refactoring was made to make code remotely readable
o in mconf removed all unused stuff (functions/variables)

Following is a list of know short comings:
a) pressing ESC twice will be interpreted as two ESC presses
b) resize does not work. menuconfig needs to be restarted to be adjusted

350b5b7638 kconfig/lxdialog: add a new theme bluetitle which is now default
The bluetitle theme is a slightly modified version of the colorscheme
that -mm users has been used to. The bluetitle is more readable especially
on some LCD screens so it is now default.
Anyone that really wants the old color selection can get it by selecting
the classic color theme:
make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=classic menuconfig

The bluetitle theme was modified by Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>
to further improve readability on LCD screens.

3b9fa0931d [PATCH] Kconfig i18n support
This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.

No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.

Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:

LANG= make menuconfig

is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.

Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:

http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes

To start the translation process:

  make update-po-config

  This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
  copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.

To test your translation, as root issue this command:

  msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po

  Replace "es" with your language code.

  Then execute, for instance:

  make menuconfig

The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.

Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.

I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
