Yep, I think we should remove all local build instructions _unless_ there are some specific board-dependent hacks or workarounds that are required. Those should be mentioned in some "Installation hints" section or something like that. > Do you have a good hint for a build tutorial that works as a base for a > unified build tutorial? Or could you possibly work on such a tutorial? I updated the generic http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO a bit yesterday, I think it's more or less functional and complete now. There's no point in explaining in-depth each of the options in menuconfig, that's what the help texts and http://www.coreboot.org/Coreboot_Options are used for. > With Kconfig being available everywhere, we should make sure people > recognize how simple it became to build coreboot Indeed! Anybody wants to write a short announcement, both to the lists (coreboot and coreboot-announce) and also in the wiki News section? This deserves some more exposure, IMHO. Maybe it will even hit the press.
