#1 lore raw

In message <20030624110611.GC8052@cancer> you write:

Quoted 7 lines

It seems that the dashes prefixing/suffixing a lot of the help entries in Kconfig files have little or no meaning (i couldn't find any docs, and didn't see any difference to help messages after this patch)

This (rather long and reproducable by a command line < 100 chars) patch replaces all -*help-* entries with just help

IIRC they were explicitly added by Roman after people wanted more visual delineation.

So I've not taken your patch, but you may want submit another that adds this to the fine documentation in

Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt

Cheers,
Rusty.
