Actually, there is. In the RPM build process, things that are added during 'make oldconfig' cause the build to fail. So all options need to be made explicit.
Which is odd - it should be unhappy about things requiring manual intervention, but not auto-selected ones.
The thing that puzzles me a little is that you add the overrides to the end of the base config: So far it was my understanding that the first setting wins, but this apparently changed at some point without me noticing. Question of course is whether you want this to be dependent upon upstream not changing the behavior again.
I don't remember a time when that was the case, but if it switches,
In SLE10 I checked it was still the old way; I didn't have a SLE11 GA kernel around anymore, but on SLE11 SP1 its already the new way.
then we can evaluate it then. This is actually the first step of making the configs smaller and the next steps rely on this behavior even more. If that changes, then I write up a tool to integrate them. For now, "cat" is enough.
