Subject: [PATCH] TIPC: add Kconfig help text
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 20:58:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200601172058.31503.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> (raw)
A new option such as TIPC should have a clear help text (as should any
option for that matter) so users have a chance of determining if they
want the option enabled or not without having to do extensive online
searches.
Since this is likely to puzzle a lot of people doing "make oldconfig"
with 2.6.16 using their old 2.6.15 .config I think the patch below (or
a similar one) should go in before 2.6.16 is released.
Please consider merging.
