[Devil-linux-develop] kernel config

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

when you do stuff which affects the Kernel config and you have to enable 
a bunch of options, check out the patch-o-matic script.
You can see in there, how to enable options which start with the same name.

This helps avoiding maintaining  config_something, which are always 
outdated.....

[Devil-linux-develop] kernel config

[Oliver J. <oli...@mo...>]

again me... with the problem, that the prepare step with kernel 2.6
alwas waits because the oldconfig hangs...  if you not patch the kernel
config in the config dir... 

isn't it better, to provide a default config and then show the 
make oldconfig dialog ??

That was the way it worked in the past, but it just let to a tendency to 
miss new configuration parameters.

And since we introduced the redirection of the output to the logfiles, 
this won't work anymore anyway.

It looks like I don't have time soon to update the config for the 2.6 
series. Can you take another look at it and provide the patches for the 
files in scripts/config/linux-2.6 directory ?

problem with alsa is that you need to set one varaible (CONFIG_SOUND=m) and
the rest have to be set off.
