Having kern-features.rc available is very useful for being able to quickly display all the available features to the user from the 'yocto-kernel' command. That command would also like to display the feature description and compatibility info to the user as well - currently I do that by also wgetting the .scc file for each feature and parsing it out, which works but is very slow. If that info was also available as part of kern-features.rc (or separate files if it makes more sense), it would be almost immediate and very helpful.
Bruce, please update the milestone/importance if this is to make 1.4. We're in M6 stabilization now.
moving this to M4, where we expect to have the new kernel in place.
Hi Bruce, I'm moving this bug to M4 since we don't do enhancement in M5 which is for stablization. Thanks, Jessica
That likely means it won't be done at all .. it was moved to spread the load. Also note, we shouldn't blindly be looking at "enhancement" as a tag, but instead trusting developers. If this was implemented, it is additional information and cannot impact stability .. so painting everything with one brush, is a bad idea. Moving out of 1.6 completely.

This is more like Documentation, which is, in fact, accepted in M5. I'd suggest retargeting there and annotating the subject to indicate it's really more of a Doc change than a feature enhancement.
Maybe move it to minor as well.
Hi, I don't really understand this issue enough to update the docs. We do have a section in the bsp-guide at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html#using-the-yocto-projects-bsp-tools that talks about the 'yocto-kernel' command. Would this documentation change be added user functionality to that command? Scott
Scott, this is a development item which provides additional information through the yocto-kernel interface.
Darren, Ok - thanks. So when the bug is resolved the yocto-kernel script will provide new information to the user. Thanks
We don't have any tooling that is active that needs this functionality, but it is still present in the kernel-cache. Closing this, since the need expressed in the case no longer exists.
