MORIN" Hello All! This series intends to add the list of virtual packages to the manual, for three reasons: - for users that are told (in a comment in the menuconfig) that a package they need depends on a virtual package, to know what provider to select, - for people writing a new provider for an existing virtual package to have a reference of which symbol to select and which package to provide in their Config.in and .mk files, - for people writing a new package that depends on features provided by a virtual package to know what symbol to depend on. The series starts with some preparatory changes and cleanups, then introduces a way to generate different forms of tables, then goes on by removing virtual packages from the current lists, and finally adds a new list with the virtual packages. Special thanks to Samuel and Maxime for their pythonistic help! :-) Changes RFC -> v2: - saner API to formatter-functions - more classical Python constructs for dicts and lambdas - more accurate python-doc - lota typoes Regards, Yann E. MORIN.
