Hi folks ! I'm not good enough at make and friends to do that myself without spending a lot more time than I have at hand, but I figured it might be something doable in a blink for whoever knows Kconfig guts :) What about something like: make mergeconfig <path_to_file> That would merge all entries in the specified file with the current .config. By mergeing, that basically means that rule: N + N = N m + N = m Y + N = Y m + Y = Y (that is, we basically take for each entry max(.config, merge file) The idea here is that on archs like powerpc, we have the ability to build kernels that can boot several platforms. However, the defconfigs we ship (g5_defconfig, pseries_defconfig, maple_defconfig, cell... ) are tailored for one platform. Now, if (for testing typically) I want to build a kernel that boots (and has all the necessary drivers) for both a g5 and a cell, I need to start from one of the defconfigs (the g5 one) and basically add in manually all the bits necessary from the other one (the cell one). Thus it might be useful to have a mecanism to automate that... Thanks in advance for whichever guru wants to have a look at this :) Cheers, Ben. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
