[BusyBox] Re: Non-CONFIG options

[Tim Riker]

Seems to me that you should be adding a prefix all the time to each 
package and removing to avoid any name clashes. Surely you would not be 
able to get the upstream maintainers to resolve all those you find.

I'd suggest processing all the Config.in etc files and doing the prefix 
all the time, even for those that are unique. So the kernel options 
become LINUX_{CONFIG_FOO} and busybox BUSYBOX_{FOO} etc. this method 
would always work. It just requires that the package names be unique 
which they would have to be anyway for directory namespace issues.

Where is your config system hosted now? Are you interested in using the 
SF project "elinux" and web server http://eLinux.org/ for that? This is 
exactly the type of project I'd like to see there.

PS: if Erik is reading this early Saturday morning, then he should go to 
bed. ;-) Then again so should I. ;-)
