--- Comment #10 from Marco Vedovati
Scripts config-merge and config-diff in scripts/ subdirectory can be used to merge a diff config with the base config and to create a diff from two full configs. But in general, preferred way to update configs is using the run_oldconfig.sh script.
In general, all you need is to use scripts/sequence_patch.sh to get expanded tree, switch to the directory with it and run ./run_oldconfig.sh from there, possibly with --flavor and/or -a (--arch) options.
This is what I was doing already. The problem is that when adding a new flavor, what is generated is just a delta compared to the default flavor. Having a new flavor with an empty file would be equivalent to use default. So you need to identify in the default config all the non-essential config lines that can be shaved off, and add them in the new flavor in the form of #CONFIG_... is not set" lines. This require some deep knowledge of the architecture. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
