It seems to me like what's confused in the defconfigs is two concepts: 1) The requirements of a platform (what options must be set and must not be set) 2) The guarantee that a particular config was known to work at some point in time.
The first could allow you to drop 99% of the options (I think that this mainly what Linus objects to) The second is better handled with testing anyway (assuming that all of the unmentioned options are, in fact, unset) Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: linuxppc-dev-bounces+stephen=neuendorffer.n...@lists.ozlabs.org [mailto:linuxppc-dev- > bounces+stephen=neuendorffer.n...@lists.ozlabs.org] On Behalf Of Grant Likely > Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 4:13 PM > To: grant.lik...@secretlab.ca > Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org > Subject: Re: [PATCH] powerpc/5200: Update defconfigs > > On Thu, Jun 3, 2010 at 3:17 PM, Grant Likely <grant.lik...@secretlab.ca> wrote: > > Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.lik...@secretlab.ca> > > CC: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org > > CC: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <b...@kernel.crashing.org> > > --- > > ... and my timing is fantastic in light of the defconfig discussion > going on on the LKML. :-) > > http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/2/472 > > g. > _______________________________________________ > Linuxppc-dev mailing list > Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org > https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev This email and any attachments are intended for the sole use of the named recipient(s) and contain(s) confidential information that may be proprietary, privileged or copyrighted under applicable law.
