Hi Folks I have been thinking some more on the way we handle our kernel config files and looked at the rather complicated way we handle them in buildtool.mk.
We keep the version number of the kernel in the config files. This completely defeats the purpose of a version control system, as this is one of the main reasons to have one, to keep version information away from the filename. Keeping version information in the filename makes it more difficult for automatic handling of tasks. It does not make it impossible, but integration into 'make' and other development tools is more complicated. IMHO version information should not be in the filename for the config files, for the above reason and because it makes file handling more complicated. I believe with the version information being removed it should be easy to add a update_kernel target to buildtool.mk which will help to update the config files automatically and thus make the this process more secure. I might still find time to do a proof of concept implementation on a branch but I have only limited network connection for quite some time starting next week. cheers ET
