From: Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au> To: kbuild-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Announce: Kernel Build for 2.5, Release 1.5 is available Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2001 23:00:11 +1100 Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Release 1.5 of kernel build for kernel 2.5 (kbuild 2.5) has been released. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild/, Package kbuild-2.5, download release 1.5. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=99725412902968&w=2 contains information about the base release. Changelog: Generalize select() and objlink() to take a variable number of CONFIG_ entries, including zero. Remove the special case commands always(), always_mod() and objlink_cond(), they are all handled by the general case commands. Simplify selections with multiple criteria to use the general select() command. Add update_if_changed() as a micro optimization, mainly for asm-offsets.h. Add CONFIG_Y, CONFIG_M to handle special select() cases. Add CONFIG_KBUILD_GCC_VERSION. Later releases will force a complete rebuild if this variable changes, work in progress. Add CONFIG_KBUILD_CRITICAL which lists the CONFIG_ variables that are critical to the build. Later releases will force a complete rebuild if any of the listed config variables change, work in progress. Documentation changes (Documentation/kbuild/kbuild-2.5.txt is your friend) for above changes plus asm-offsets.h. Upgrade to kernel 2.4.14. This release does not fully support CML2, only use it with CML1. CML2 needs the extra CONFIG_ variables and menus added to support kbuild 2.5.
