True - This change makes it slightly harder for developers, but easier for users to find (and for us to do a test build of all defconfigs prior to release). The stuff in target/device/ tends to get stale over time, so a bit more visibility is imho good. I obviously like it, and I never had any comments when I proposed it back in September: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-September/029269.html -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
