CML 1.8.4 is available

[Eric S. Raymond]

The latest version is always available at http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/cml2/

Release 1.8.4: Tue Nov 13 17:31:15 EST 2001
	* Resync with 2.4.15-pre4 (except for SH port).
	* Rulebase corrections from Keith Owens and Colin Slater.
	* DANGEROUS is now a warndepend condition; this means there is a policy
	  symbol DANGEROUS, and any symbol dependent on it will show DANGROUS
	  in its legend.
	* Visibility improvement from Romain BEAUGRAND.
	* Complete coverage check -- CML1 fossil symbols eliminated.
	* Matthieu Verbert's configtrans.py fix.

CML2 is now fully caught up with the CML1 rulebase in the most current
kernel version, with symbol coverage mechanically checked in both directions.

The following symbols should be allowed to be set to 'm' but are not:
	CONFIG_USB
	CONFIG_UHCI
	CONFIG_UHCI_ALT

If CONFIG_USB_SERIAL is set to 'y' CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG should be
allowed to be chosen.  I do not see this happening.

And why is the CONFIG_USB_SERIAL options in the drivers/usb directory?
In the CML1 version they live in their own subdirectory quite nicely :)
Either way they should be in the USB port drivers section, not the "USB
devices" section of the menu.

There doesn't seem to be any rules set up for drivers/hotplug.

thanks,

That's odd.  M  shows up as a choice when I do xconfig.

My error.  These are declared bool rather than trit in the 1.8.5 rulebase.
I've just fixed tht.

Another rulebase bug, now fixed.

Historical reasons.  My rulebase was opriginally one big file for editing
conveniece.  What directory whould the USB serial stuff live in?

What symbols should be in there,

Ok, this was a user error.  I didn't realize that the USB config option
was under the "System buses and controller types" menu.  This confusion
was caused by the error that you get when pressing "m" when the "USB
support" menu is selected on the main screen of the ncurses version.

drivers/usb/serial

CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI

CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_COMPAQ_NVRAM

See the Config.in file in that directory for the dependencies they have
on each other.

OK, this wiull be in 1.8.6.  I'm going to have to figure out why my coverage 
tools didn't catch those three symbols.

Thanks.  2.4.15-pre4 didn't allow the user to select these options.  The
attached patch is necessary for them to show up.  Perhaps this is the
reason.
