    Subject[ot?] [patch] posting .config files
    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.

    $ wc .config
    586 1840 12774 .config
    $ perl -pe 's/^CONFIG_//;s/^\#.*//;s/\=y$//;s/^\s*$//' .config | wc
