[gentoo-soc] kernelconfig - progress report #2

[André Erdmann]

Hi everyone,


== Brief summary of this project ==

kernelconfig is about generating kernel configuration files,
using various sources such as curated defconfigs, detected hardware,
installed packages and user input.

The project's code can be found at [0].


== This week's progress ==

A Python-level kernelconfig interface for modifying kernel configurations.
Basically, it wraps a config object, offers modify-option
(builtin, module, disable, set to value, ...) methods that write to a
"decision" buffer which gets checked for direct conflicts, and a commit()
method that merges the decisions with the original config.
It is also responsible for resolving a working configuration
(dependencies!), which I'm currently working on.


== Plans for the next week ==

Work on resolving dependencies,
so that a working configuration can be created.
