Hello,
it seems package/games/Config.in is not used. Indeed package/Config.in
do not "source" it but copy its content (line 76).
What is the actual philosophy in BR: regroup packages by "classes" (ex
games, multimedia...) in package/ subdirs and then source these
sub-Config.in in package/Config.in or put all packages in package/ and
organize the stuff in package/Config.in ?
(I prefer the second one)
Regards,
Julien

Why not, but in that case, we need non ambiguous names. I'm referring
to the recent introduction of several Lua packages: some of them have
fairly common names:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=50d6f2dde4db8c9d042294a09d5e8e120aec9987
Maybe they should be named "lua-XXX" instead ?
Another strategy would be to mimick in the directory layout the
organization of options in the menuconfig.

Yes, sorry I forgot to answer your mail on this. It is not only the
directory name, but also the BR2_PACKAGE_* symbol that need to be
specific enough.

I find it quite handy to do a quick cd package/<package> when I need to
fix something in a package, without having to start make menuconfig to
figure out in what sub directory it is - The current package/multimedia
stuff kind of bothers me.

me too.
So do you plan to remove unused package/games/Config.in ? and eventually
move all package/games/xxx back to package/ ?

Julien
