I don't think savedefconfig can do this as is. Someone would have to work with the Linux kernel build guys to add a feature like that, I think. > Tom -- perhaps in the meantime we could get a partial revert? This will just happen again any time someone moves any config. You're much better off just moving it to the MAINTAINERS file now if it's valuable information. That or into a README in doc like other stuff does. Cheers, -Joe _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
