From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Romain Izard Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2016 11:17:28 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] core/pkg-kconfig: add an option to use olddefconfig Message-ID: <1458901049-3693-1-git-send-email-romain.izard.pro@gmail.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Using 'yes "" | make oldconfig' to regenerate a .config file from an existing defconfig does not work reliably in all cases. Specifically, it does not work well with tristate choice entries. The correct way to do it is to use 'make olddefconfig', but this target is not supported in projects that use an old version of kconfig. As most projects do not use tristate entries, there is no need for them to upgrade. As a result, add support in the pkg-kconfig infrastructure for both cases, with a configuration entry to select which mode to use.
