Distro configurations

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

one of Fedora wpa_supplicant package maintainers here.

Updating the package to a new version typically involves finding out
which build options were added and deciding which ones does it make
sense to enable.

Both actions require some effort: Sometimes new features don't make it
into the example defconfig and when they do they typically default to
disabled.

I had a short look at the .config file Debian uses, and it turned out
they often end up reaching a different conclusion about the options to
enable than we do. That doesn't look right to me -- our user bases
overlap substantially and end up interoperating in the same networks.

I'm wondering whether we could align the configurations somehow, and
whether upstream could help this? Would a patch set that makes upstream
defconfig more inclusive in order to be useful for general-purpose OS
installations as it is meet with objections?

Opinions, ideas?
(I'm adding more distro maintainers in Cc.)

Thank you,
Lubo
