Subject: [2.6 patch] don't allow users to set CONFIG_BROKEN=y
Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 18:35:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060106173547.GR12131@stusta.de> (raw)
Do not allow people to create configurations with CONFIG_BROKEN=y.
The sole reason for CONFIG_BROKEN=y would be if you are working on
fixing a broken driver, but in this case editing the Kconfig file is
trivial.
Never ever should a user enable CONFIG_BROKEN.
