Hi -
Still, the fact is before you can just copy a whole config from
arch/arm/configs to be .config and vice-versa which has been my usage pattern.
Now with these optimized defconfigs, that doesn't work; it doesn't hurt to
document how to use the new way (even better with your make target method).
Sure. And you can still copy arch/arm/configs/foo_defconfig to .config
and it should work (maybe a "make oldconfig" needed not to be prompted
My build scripts among other things do a silentoldconfig every time
before the main build, that is not enough anyway to use it directly.
Otherwise I wouldn't've noticed there was any issue.
for all missing options). But "make foo_defconfig" is shorter.
It's possible I'm the only guy who missed the day at school where they talked
about arbitrary defconfig targets in Makefile but I doubt it.
Well, most people are not aware of those goodies, so don't feel ashamed.
I'm sure you weren't alone at the beach that day. ;-)
Sure, I appreciate your telling me and everyone else on the lists that
it existed.
