A symbol will already have the 'magic' you describe if its creator wrote it that way. Changing to 'menuconfig' tokens does not change that I think. Consider: menu "foobar" config FOOBAR bool "foobar" default y config HW_RANDOM depends on FOOBAR default y endmenu This example should do things as you describe -- if FOOBAR is changed from n to y, HW_RANDOM should automatically do the same since it is a new option then. menuconfig FOOBAR bool "foobar" default y if FOOBAR config HW_RANDOM default y endif inhibits the same behavior AFAICS. >Also, I don't think it's necessary to touch any of the "depends on"; keep >them as is, as they don't hurt staying that way, and may actually be >necessary under certain circumstances. (see EMBEDDED) Simplifying the depends lines is a good thing IMO.
