Hi everyone, |

== 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]. |

== This week's progress == |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
A couple of minor, yet important additions. |
| 16 |
For example, the configuration mini-language is now able to locate |
| 17 |
include files in user and system directories, allowing 'commands' such as |
| 18 |
"include pkg/*", and it is also smart enough to avoid loading the same |
| 19 |
include file multiples times. |
| 20 |
The config resolving has been extended so that it considers |
| 21 |
both dependencies and visilibity of config options instead of dependencies only. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Documentation-wise, there's a user guide now that |
| 24 |
gives some pointers on how to run kernelconfig. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I have also started with "curated sources", |
| 27 |
which is about getting an input .config file for config generation. |
| 28 |
So far there is a draft on this topic[1] and some preparatory code. |
| 29 |
Overall, it will be possible to use a file, either available locally |
| 30 |
or remotely via http and the like, a make target such as defconfig, |
| 31 |
and "curated sources", which exist separately from the usual settings file |
| 32 |
and can range from simple files to complex scripts. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
== Plans for the next week == |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Get "curated sources" mostly done. |
