Last week at Plumbers, Darren Hart and I hosted a BOF on config fragments. I wanted to say thanks to all the hungry attendees (8pm on the evening where dinner was fend-for-yourself made it especially hard to draw a crowd) for their thoughts and discussion. There I promised to send out some patches to try to get some common tooling pushed upstream. I realize this isn't difficult code, but after seeing almost every distro and build system re-implement the same basic functionality over and over, it seems like there should be some tooling for this common use case. I'm sure this tooling won't work for everyone, and I expect it will need to evolve to adapt for various use cases, but I wanted to push it out so that I could make concrete what I was describing in the talk, as well as get some wider feedback. So let me know if you have any comments or thoughts! thanks -john CC: gthelen@xxxxxxxxxx CC: tartler@xxxxxxxxx CC: Dmitry Fink <Dmitry.Fink@xxxxxxxx> CC: Darren Hart <dvhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Eric B Munson <ebmunson@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Bruce Ashfield <Bruce.Ashfield@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Michal Marek <mmarek@xxxxxxx> CC: linux-kbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx John Stultz (2): kconfig: Add make olddefconfig kconfig: Add merge_config.sh script scripts/kconfig/Makefile | 2 +- scripts/kconfig/conf.c | 4 ++ scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh | 72 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 77 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) create mode 100755 scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -- 1.7.3.2.146.gca209 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
