Message-ID: <20020421055132.B90381@iguana.icir.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.23i Sender: owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG As the subject says... It seems that we do not have a place to put dependencies among kernel config options and devices. Is there any plan to implement a mechanism to record dependencies, and then either import the necessary entries, or report the missing ones without waiting for a kernel failure to link (or, in case of modules, fail to load) ? I think there is something like that, but not quite, for modules. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
