David, All,
Hi Yann,
On 2013-11-11 10:11 -0800, David Cohen spake thusly:
Is there a plan to fix 'make oldnoconfig' option?
I currently have need to it :)
I've tracked a thread fixing 'make olddefconfig' where 'oldnoconfig'
option is reported as a known bug, right?
Sorry, I don't understand what your problem is.
Maybe I assumed it was more 'known' then it actually is :)
Care to explain in details what problem you have:
- what you start with
- what you do
- what you get
- what you expected
The bug with 'oldnoconfig' is: 'make oldnoconfig' is just an alias to
'olddefconfig'. Any non-existent config is defined with its default
value instead of 'N'.
I work with embedded platforms. I need to maintain a set of defconfigs
for different products (customers some times want tailored configs, so
creating a generic one isn't an option always).
make allnoconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=oldconfigfile
I use this trick in
http://landley.net/aboriginal/FAQ.html#dev_miniconfig
And yes, I submitted it upstream a couple times last decade, with
documentation and everything:
