Subject: [2.6 patch] Kconfig: rename "---help---" to "help" in Kconfig files (first part) (fwd)
Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 02:10:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050531001038.GD3627@stusta.de> (raw)

This patch is the majority of a patch by Jesper Juhl.
This patch renames all instances of "---help---" to simply "help" in all
of the Kconfig files.
The main reason for this patch (quoting Jesper) is:
Consistency. out of ~4000 help entries in 134 Kconfig files, 747 of
those entries use "---help---" as the keyword, the rest use just "help".
So the users of "---help---" are clearly a minority and by renaming them
we make things consistent. - I hate inconsistency. :-)
Different ways for expressing the same thing is good for writers but bad
for readers.
E.g. where to place opening braces in C is a religious issue. For the
Linux kernel, CodingStyle sets the rules. And although I'd prefer to set
them different, I have to admit that the consistency indide the kernel
makes reading easier.
My change to the patch was to drop all parts that don't apply to both
2.6.12-rc5 and 2.6.12-rc5-mm1 (for making inclusion in Linus' tree
easier).
My plan for this issue is:
- get this patch accepted
- rename all remaining "---help---" in both -mm and Linus' tree
- remove the "---help---" from the Kconfig language
