When saying automatic i was referring to kernel updates in package repositories (with apt or dnf) where auto download and install can be configured for security updates...i was thinking about applying config options but i guess they are already compiled?
Isnt there a tool that would download new kernel based on repository security updates and that would compile it with a provided config file?
I can use a bash script or ansible role but i dont see how to keep close to the official kernel distribution updates automatically...
Thanks

Yes, it is your favourite distro, whichever that may be. You just
need the tools to build, which you may already have, but can be seen
in docs: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/changes.html
that ils easier and more accessible
If you want a GUI, use `make xconfig`.
un particular for automated updates with automatic custom compiling config?
Have your custom config options in a separate file somewhere, and use
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh to merge. Example in a script:
make defconfig
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh .config common.config
The script will take care of requisite stuff, which additional options
to enable, etc.
Or you can have your entire config saved in .config, and just run
merge_config.sh everytime you pull newer kernel code.
Thanks,
Siddh
