All,

It is now easier to edit 'per-flavour' configuration files. The old
system forced the developer to enter a menuconfig system for each
flavour until eventually landing in the required one. After following
this process numerous times it can easily become tedious. Now the
developer is asked whether they want to enter each menuconfig in turn,
rapidly speeding up the process.

The following changes since commit a8e1af2ae65acbed1b4e1009a80d2371a484aec9:
  Leann Ogasawara (1):
        UBUNTU: Ubuntu-2.6.34-2.9

I don't know why it insists on line wrapping!

Is this still suitable?

I guess Thunderbird needs training, see Documentation/email-clients.txt

The idea is good. Yet not sure if it's better for fdr editconfig to
accept a list
of flavors to edit? i.e. fdr editconfig ti-omap

Excellent, thanks.

I made this patch out of need, as I was becoming fast fed-up with the
process whist working on a bug.

If you, or anyone else for that matter have any more suggestions, I'd be
glad to carry them out.

Naturally I'd have to have a chat with my supervisor first, as I believe
my workload is going to increase fairly rapidly over the upcoming
days/weeks.

IMO, y/n is a good enough improvement now.

Listing flavours means maintaining that list somewhere. Too much overhead
since our flavours are changing constantly.

A further improvement could be to add a higher level loop to ask if a certain
arch configs should be entered. So,

x86 configs. Edit? [y/n] N
x86_64 configs. Edit? [y/n] N
arm configs. Edit? [y/n] Y

This would complicate things a little.

The 'pre-loop' idea would consist of the same logic required for a full
menu system (my original edit).

The editconfig system has been sped-up ten-fold by this patch and I can
traverse to the menuconfig I need in seconds. Any more time-saving would
be non-trivial and non-significant in my opinion.

Kind regards,
Lee

I should have stated that better than 'IMO, y/n is a good enough improvement
now.'

The per-arch idea was just a followup to this. :)

Keeps the current functionality, and speeds things up when the user
doesn't need to change anything to a specific config.
