Subject: more pedantry: "depends on" versus "depends" versus "requires"
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2006 10:16:40 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0611261013230.26218@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
i'm thinking that the kconfig structure doesn't really need to
support all three of these dependency directives for Kconfig files. a
quick occurrence count:
"depends on": 4421
"depends": 45
"requires": 0
under the circumstances, why not just standardize on "depends on"
everywhere and remove the obvious redundancy from the scripts/kconfig/
parser files?
