Subject: Re: bug database braindump from the kernel summit
Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 17:26:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3AC7C719.3080403@kalifornia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0104011640280.25794-100000@dlang.diginsite.com>

Why not have the /proc/config option but instead of being plain text, 
make it binary with a userspace app that can interpret it?

It could have a signature as to kernel version + patches and the rest 
would be just bits.

Instead of:

CONFIG_X86=y
CONFIG_ISA=y
# CONFIG_SBUS is not set
CONFIG_UID16=y

You'd have
2.4.3-pre3:1101111100000100000000 . . . . .
