Yup, and that autogenerates the dependency for the make file. The rule
is like this:
- if packet is "foo", it's label is "FOO" [1]
- if you want foo to depend on bar, add
config FOO
bool
prompt "foo"
select BAR
help
This is the foo packet
That's all. Note that the "select" has to be at the packet label itself,
so if foo only selects bar if FOO_SOMEOPTION is set, you have to use
config FOO
bool
prompt "foo"
select BAR if FOO_SOMEOPTION
config FOO_SOMEOPTION
bool
depends on FOO

Which ptxdist version are you using? Can you send me the ptxconfig file
off-list?

[1] We currently have a problem when it comes to dependencies,
because we convert "-" in packet names to "_" in labels, which makes it
impossible to find out about the packet name later on. This
behaviour will probably change soon, so that PTXCONF_FOO_*
corresponds to "FOO" being the packet label, even if it contains "-"
characters. I remember that there was a reason why we did it, but
it has to be changed in order to make it possible that changing
a configuration switch automatically recompiles that packet
afterwards.
