Question about kernel26-ice User/Environment defined variables[SOLVED]

Kernel26-ice PKGBUILD has further 'User/Environment defined variables':

bfs_scheduler=${bfs_scheduler:-0}
keep_source_code=${keep_source_code:-0}
menuconfig=${menuconfig:-0}
realtime_patch=${realtime_patch:-0}
use_config_gz=${use_config_gz:-0}
enable_reiser4

Well, I know only reiser4 option. What does it mean each one? And I can use all options together?

Re: Question about kernel26-ice User/Environment defined variables[SOLVED]

The BFS scheduler and real-time patch are kernel patches. An explanation of BFS can be found on Con Kolivas' site, RT is described in the Real-Time Linux Wiki.

'keep_source-code' lets you keep the source code after building the kernel, instead of throwing everything away, 'menuconfig' lets you change kernel settings and included drivers, etc., using an easy-to-use console interface and enabling 'use_config_gz' takes the configuration settings from the currently running kernel.

I should consider writing some documentation about that. Or a wiki page...
