| |
Hi,
Postings .config files can obviously be a helpful thing. It's also good to see that some on this list are concerned about vger's load & bandwidth, and try to compress their files. But gzip + UUE can be difficult to read.
How about having something "official" like the following:
perl -pe 's/^CONFIG_//;s/^\#.*//;s/\=y$//;s/^\s*$//' .config
It's small, to-the-point, and readable. But possibly not done the Right Way.
