Eric Raymond has announced that CML2, a configuration system
meant to simplify the kernel build process, is ready for the 2.5
kernel series.
Release 1.8.6: Wed Nov 14 16:58:03 EST 2001 * Fixed three logic bugs reported by Frederic Gobry, David Kamholz, and Danni Junglas. These mainly affected rollback when a variable is unset; sometimes this wasn't being done properly.
According to Raymond:
“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.”
