proconfig is a Linux kernel patch which lists the running kernel's compilation options in /proc/config. This makes kernel image administration easy if you compile a lot of kernels or admin a lot of machines. The code is compiled as a kernel module by default. The patch integrates with the kernel Makefiles, so it shows up conveniently under make menuconfig and friends.

Release Notes: The patch has been brought up to date for kernel 2.4.19. The code has also been simplified, and string prefix-compression has now replaced the string crc-keying scheme in the internals. Slightly more memory is used, but it results in one simple kernel y/n/m option, which users prefer.


Release Notes: Adaptations for kernel 2.4.0-test1.


Release Notes: Automatic self-loading and -removing of the config_data module that does the checksum to variable name translation, the interface is controlled by echo -n {0|1|2} > /proc/config, and the patch is created against kernel 2.2.15.


Release Notes: Initial freshmeat announcement; reliable and efficient generation of a full list of all possible kernel CONFIG_* options without search, an on/off switch via echo -n "0" > /proc/config, integrated CONFIG_* search with kernel mkdep.c, a fix for a cosmetic bug, replaced shell scripts by C programs, and unification of 2.3.44 and 2.2.13 config.c code.
