Subject: miss-leading help in configuration options
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 21:08:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <502AA240.8050403@googlemail.com> (raw)
I was configuring a kernel build and stumbled across some options, which
default to [n], but the help says "If unsure, say Y".
Also the other way round defaulting to [y],
but the help saying "If unsure, say N".
So now I am really unsure, what to pick.
Here is a list of options, which I found with a script to have such
unsure help:
./arch/blackfin/Kconfig.debug
config DEBUG_DOUBLEFAULT
./arch/sh/mm/Kconfig
config SCHED_MC
./arch/sparc/Kconfig
config SCHED_SMT
config SERIAL_CONSOLE
./arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu
config CPU_SUP_AMD
config CPU_SUP_CENTAUR
config CPU_SUP_CYRIX_32
config CPU_SUP_INTEL
config CPU_SUP_TRANSMETA_32
config CPU_SUP_UMC_32
./drivers/input/touchscreen/Kconfig
config TOUCHSCREEN_DA9034
config TOUCHSCREEN_USB_EASYTOUCH
./drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/Kconfig
config STMMAC_PLATFORM
./fs/ext3/Kconfig
config EXT3_FS_XATTR
./fs/ext4/Kconfig
config EXT4_FS_XATTR
./fs/notify/fanotify/Kconfig
config FANOTIFY
./lib/Kconfig.debug
config RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE
./mm/Kconfig
config CLEANCACHE
config FRONTSWAP
./net/ipv4/Kconfig
