Hi,
i just have a question regarding packages using linux-info.eclass to
check for specific kernel config flags (e.g. app-emaulation/docker).
Currently it seems like the flags are only checked against the config
in /usr/src/linux which is not necessariliy the running kernel.
Furthermore there are some warnings printed, but after some time i
find it hard to remember what i will have to change in my kernel
configs in order to make the package work right. It is also just a
snapshot of the situation at the time emerge is building the package.
Does there exists a tool helping in maintaining consistency between
kernel configuration and configs required by currently installed packages.
If not, could emaint be be the right tool to extend with this
functionality?
Or is this functionality not really needed?

It does not directly help with the consistency problem, but Elogv
(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elogv) at least helps to keep track of the
messages portage prints out. You could, for example, decide to not
remove the messages with kernel config changes that you have not done, yet.
