Subject: DVB_NET help message is useless
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 09:06:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DF9AB93.1040903@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I've just updated to 3.0-rc and saw CONFIG_DVB_NET. Hmm, let's see
what's that by asking with '?'. And I got this crap:
================
CONFIG_DVB_NET:

The DVB network support in the DVB core can
optionally be disabled if this
option is set to N.

If unsure say Y.
================
Why do you think this help message is useful? It's clear to
everybody that if one eventually disables it it will be disabled. The
help message should mention _what_ the network support is.

I would send a patch, but I really have no idea what's that good for.

thanks,
