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 This week's work has been about improving the "curated sources" code
16 from the previous week, and adding configuration sources.
17 Code-wise improvements implemented during this week include parsing of
18 arguments passed to "curated source" scripts, checking whether the target
19 architecture is supported for a particular source, and a new
20 Python-module source type that allows for better interfacing with kernelconfig.
21 As for actual sources, there are now Liquorix and Ubuntu
22 - known from the original project-, and Fedora.
23 There has been some preliminary work on adding Debian's and CentOS's
24 config files,
25 which is going to be realized early during the next week.
26
27
28 == Plans for the next week ==
29
30 Write documentation for "curated sources".
31
32 Start with "hardware detection",
33 which is about mapping hardware identifiers to kernel config options.
