Subject: [PATCH v2] Remove silentoldconfig from "make help"; fix kconfig/conf's help
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2018 17:41:37 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180118014137.28313-1-marc.herbert@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171219012656.23728-1-marc.herbert@intel.com>
As explained by Michal Marek at https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/31/189
silentoldconfig has become a misnomer. It has become an internal interface
so remove it from "make help" to stop confusing people trying to use it as
seen for instance at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/835632
On the other hand, correct and expand its description in the help of
scripts/kconfig/conf.c
