Hi,
in the past, the kernel-source package used to install the config files for it's architecture to /usr/src/linux-obj/$arch/$flavor/.config Now kernel-source is noarch and the the files below /usr/src/linux-obj/ are packaged in kernel-$flavor-devel. This works fine for KMPs, but it's unintuitive for people who install the kernel-source package and want to manually recompile their kernel - they have to install an additional -devel package for just the single .config file. Therefore I was thinking about adding the .config files to kernel-source, e.g.
/usr/src/linux/config/$arch/$flavor
like the config/ subdir in git (and hope that there won't appear a 'config' directory in the upstream kernel). Or maybe place the configs next to the upstream defconfigs:
/usr/src/linux/arch/$arch/configs/suse_$flavor_defconfig
Then it would be possible to say make O=... suse_$flavor_defconfig (it would not be that easy actually, because x86 and x86_64 share the same directory).
What do you think?
What's wrong with the config in /proc/config.gz that is on all systems? That doesn't require a new package to be installed :)
That limits you to the kernel version and flavor you are running :).
Which is what I thought you said the user probably wants to do :) Anyway, I have no objection to add the config to the kernel-source package, as long as we document it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
