+# Kconfig package infrastructure
+#
+# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of
+# package .mk files for packages that use kconfig for configuration files.
+# It is based on the generic-package infrastructure, and inherits all of its
+# features.
+#
+# See the Buildroot documentation for details on the usage of this
+# infrastructure.
