Last missing piece is being able to do "select FOO =3D n", which Stephen is currently working on.I thought Linus' idea was to use: KBUILD_KCONFIG=3Dfile make allnoconfig
That was more a prototype of the idea; but it's a pretty cumbersome user interface. :-) By changing the makefile to look for kconfig fragments in the configs directory, the user interface for choosing a config remains exactly the same. As for the allnoconfig bit....
in which case any option which would be presented to the user which hasn'=

been selected by 'file' ends up being set to n. =A0That means there's no need for a special "select FOO=3Dn" construct.
...Linus chimed in on this that he doesn't actually care much. I think defconfig with an empty initial config file makes a lot more sense than allnoconfig so that we're using the default values from the normal Kconfig files.
