Migrate to sysprog21/Kconfiglib for improved UI and active maintenance

Open Copilot opened this issue 2 months ago • 3 comments

The PyPI kconfiglib package is unmaintained. Migrate to the actively maintained sysprog21/Kconfiglib fork which provides enhanced menuconfig/guiconfig UIs, bug fixes, and full Kconfig language compatibility.

Changes

Dependency updates:

  • tools/requirements.txt: kconfiglib>=13.7.1 → kconfiglib @ git+https://github.com/sysprog21/Kconfiglib
  • .github/workflows/utest_auto_run.yml: Updated pip install command

Documentation:

  • bsp/ultrarisc/ur_dp1000_evb/README.md: Updated installation instructions
  • bsp/k230/README.md: Updated installation instructions

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/sysprog21/Kconfiglib
# or
pip install -r tools/requirements.txt

Benefits

The fork provides:

  • Enhanced TUI with borders, shadows, and scrollbars
  • Professional GUI with dark/light themes
  • Multiple bug fixes
  • Active maintenance

API-compatible drop-in replacement (v14.1.1a4). No RT-Thread code changes required.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>[Feature] Use refined Kconfiglib for improved rendering and configuration processing</issue_title> <issue_description>### Describe problem solved by the proposed feature

The Kconfiglib package available on PyPI is no longer actively maintained. In contrast, the fork at sysprog21/Kconfiglib enhances the TUI to align more closely with the Linux kernel’s menuconfig, fixes several bugs, and preserves full compatibility with the Kconfig language.

Describe your preferred solution

The screenshot below illustrates the improved TUI, including clearer window borders, drop shadows, and a functional scrollbar.

Image

The screenshots below illustrate the improved user interface of guiconfig.py, bringing it closer to the professional standard of the Linux kernel’s qconf (make xconfig). In addition, it introduces dark/light theme switching for guiconfig, featuring a blue color scheme for consistent cross-platform styling.

Image Image

The configurator can use the sysprog21/Kconfiglib package instead of the unmaintained Kconfiglib, while still processing all existing configurations correctly.

Describe possible alternatives
