generic.txt ----------- This file in 'kernels/generic' exists only to force 'git' to track what would otherwise be an empty directory. Having this empty directory is necessary because the 'generic' singleton family is defined in the configuration registry as: generic: generic which implies that the 'generic' sub-configuration depends on the 'generic' kernel set (because there were no complementary kernel sets specified via '/'). Thus, we need there to be a kernel set named 'generic', but we don't actually refer to any such kernels in BLIS. In other words, this file is simply a workaround to a quirk in the syntax and semantics of the config_registry file. -FGVZ
