This complicates the eclass, genpatches scripts and all in tree ebuilds for a single patch in a single tarball; why not just exclude it if you explicitly don't want it? It's not much more than your proposal; so, excluding the patch seems like a much more simpler approach. Alternatively, people can add a patch that patches away ./Kconfig:11. This is also meant to be opt-out and not opt-in; as in the end, this change causes documentation changes and thus must be present in any kernel on Gentoo Linux, otherwise we are introducing inconsistency. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : [email protected] GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
