1 Hi everyone,
2
3
4 == Brief summary of this project ==
5
6 kernelconfig is about generating kernel configuration files,
7 using various sources such as curated defconfigs, detected hardware,
8 installed packages and user input.
9
10 The project's code can be found at [0].

13 == This week's progress ==
14
15 A Python-level kernelconfig interface for modifying kernel configurations.
16 Basically, it wraps a config object, offers modify-option
17 (builtin, module, disable, set to value, ...) methods that write to a
18 "decision" buffer which gets checked for direct conflicts, and a commit()
19 method that merges the decisions with the original config.
20 It is also responsible for resolving a working configuration
21 (dependencies!), which I'm currently working on.
22
23
24 == Plans for the next week ==
25
26 Work on resolving dependencies,
27 so that a working configuration can be created.
