EmDebSys and LKC
Hi,
I'm working on an ARM9 based devkit, and part of my work is to build a
micro distribution easily configurable. I'm not looking for a packaging
system, but more for a configuration system that'd build a rootfs from a
set of tarballs. I found out about emdebsys and thought it'd be nice to
use it, but a question is itching me:
Is there any plan to convert to or integrate kernel's LKC configuration
language?
I see two main reasons for this:
1) It's not a good thing to have separate configuration files for the
kernel (they'll get out of sync with the kernel everytime a new release
is made, and they force you to write the missing bits for some patched
kernel flavours).
2) It would make emdebsys benefit from the active development of LKC,
(which has nice frontends btw, much nicer imho than the tkinter one ;)
A solution for (1) would be to have a LKC->CML2 translator (I see
there's configtrans.py for CML1 already), but that's just a work around,
and it doesn't impede (2).
I'm new to emdebian so maybe this has been discussed before but I
couldn't find a trace in the mailing-list archive.
TIA and keep up the good work,
Thibaut VARENE
