That looks sexy. I mentioned the query option so that I could end up displaying on 'make menuconfig' the epochs dynamically, it would be a script that wants the list of epochs, and I'd use this to dynamically populate kconfig. Dynamic population of kconfig is not a yet well understood thing, but I've figured out a way to do it :) > That only works for contiguous ranges, though; but I'm also > unsure if discontiguous ranges make sense to anyone. > > There's other syntaxes (e.g. (sed|Perl)-like), of course, > but I think git-like here would be most natural. > > Thoughts? I think the above would suffice for sure! Luis
