G'day,
I'll just briefly unlurk on the subject of kbuild before getting back
to the kconfig bughunt.

There is absolutely no requirement that all kernel developers uses
the same SCM system.
Agreed.

I agree with Keith, shadow trees rock. I think they are probably the single
most useful feature of kbuild 2.5. I fervently hope we end up with shadow
trees or something like them by the end of Linux 2.5.

Obviously the kernel build system should work for everyone irrespective
of the SCM system in use. This put at least the following demands:
1) Separate OBJ and SRC tree
2) That kbuild does not touch any files in the SRC tree
Agreed. It looks

I think the problem of Makefile bits in shadow trees is really quite
difficult. Keith's solution of pre-processing Makefiles and
Makefile.appends from all the shadow trees into a combined Makefile
doesn't handle all the cases but is the best attempt I've seen so
far.
Agreed..

Greetings all,
Since kernel 2.5.3, the monolithic Configure.help file has been broken
up into a hundred or so Config.help files. This division potentially
allows for customized help texts for different architectures. For
example, the CONFIG_SMP help text is different in arch/i386/Config.help

This does not stop any attemp to make a simple wrapper that
creates and maintain a BUILD_TREE.
To check timestamps and link accordinly should not take too much
time, at least not at the second run.

Ok, why don't you and Peter Samuelson get together, create

This is redundant - the second mkdir is not needed.
Should be:
