Hello All!
This series intend to add the list of virtual pacakges to the manual, for
three reasons:
- for users that are told (in a comment in the menuconfig) that a
pacakage they need depends on a virtual pacakge, to know what provider
to select,
- for people writing a new provider for an existing virtual package to
have a reference of which symbol to select and which package to provide
in their Config.in and .mk files,
- for people writing a new package that depends on features provided by
a virtual pacakge to know what symbol to depend on.
The series starts with some preparatory changes and cleanups, then
introduces a away to generate different forms of tables, then goes on by
removing virtual packages from the current lists, and finally add a new
list with the virtual packages.
I consider this to be in RFC stage for now, especially as I would like
some feedback on the changes I made on the Python script, changes which
were done in an ad-hoc fashion, until it works, but will probably need
some more love to be clean.
Special thanks to Samuel for his pythonistic help! :-)
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
