CML2 Coming in Kernel 2.5

MrHat writes: "Eric S. Raymond's CML2, or 'Configuration Menu Language' -- part of the next-generation Linux kernel build system -- is now officially ready for 2.5. CML2 includes a compiler for a domain-specific configuration language, used to configure kernel subsystems and resolve dependencies between them. CML2 and Linux 2.5 will 'ship' with several different configuration interfaces, including an adventure game, whipped up by ESR during an extended flight. The story from the horse's mouth (or LKML, if you prefer):'This release resolves all known logic bugs and rulebase problems. The only things left on the to-do list are convenience features and some minor improvements in the test/coverage tools. This code is now officially ready for the 2.5 fork.'"

why no LL1 talk?

ESR was previously going to be talking about this at the Lightweight Languages Workshop, but he's not on the agenda now. What happened?

I am not trolling or flaming, I am actualy passing on info I heard.

From what I have heard from LUGs that want him to give a speech at, He is very high mantainance. He requires a nice hotel and good food, as well as a stipent in some cases, otherwise he will not come to talk....I have also heard that he gets a bit pissy over little problems in plans

Something similar for BSD?

[chrysalis]

Is there a similar kernel configuration GUI for OpenBSD/FreeBSD/NetBSD?

Editing BSD kernel configuration files has always been lousy and very archaical compared to Linux menuconfig and xconfig. I still can't understand why nothing was developped for BSD.

Wish we had this in Windows...

Not all of us run Linux and sometimes freak when we are very tired and we see things like "Kernel 2.5" dammit... Once again im at 4.4!!!!!
