Yeah, I'm sure once distro configs are created we'll find quite a bit similarity in them. We could create Kconfig.distro that has all the common options selected and then have the per distro Kconfig files select that. Sure we'd need to watch Kconfig.distro (or Kconfig.min-distro) for changes, but I'd hope the distro maintainers would sign up to maintain these things upstream and be keeping an eye on it anyway. josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
