Re: [PATCH] add diffconfig utility
Nice. Would it be helpful to compare .config.old to .config if you don't provide any command line arguments? scripts/diffconfig would then do the job. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-embedded in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

It looks like Randy Dunlap tried to submit some documentation for this in Oct 2006, but it didn't make it in? Is this feature widely used?

The patch I googled had it going into Documentation/kbuild. It somehow escaped my attention in the README. Mine as well. (I grepped for KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG in Documentation, not in the rest of the tree. I of all people should know better...) If I was a little more skilled with my grep-ing I would have found it. Sorry for the bother! The linux kernel has documentation in Documentation, in the make htmldocs output, in the Kconfig help entries, in README files, in the output of make help, and several other places. (And then there's all the stuff that's not _in_ the kernel tarball...) It's easy to miss.
