* [Buildroot] [PATCH v2 0/2] core/pkg-kconfig: Fix .config generation @ 2016-03-29 10:11 Romain Izard 2016-03-29 10:11 ` [Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/2] core/pkg-kconfig: fix .config rule for silent mode Romain Izard 2016-03-29 10:11 ` [Buildroot] [PATCH v2 2/2] core/pkg-kconfig: Use oldnoconfig when possible Romain Izard 0 siblings, 2 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: Romain Izard @ 2016-03-29 10:11 UTC (permalink / raw) To: buildroot To use an existing file as .config for a project, it needs to be validated with 'make oldconfig'. If the file does not match all the configuration entries of the project, the user will be prompted to select the values for the new entries. Historically, 'yes "" | make oldconfig' was used to silently select the default values for new entries. But this does not work well with the Linux kernel, as it will not select the correct option when configuring tristate choice entries. The Linux kernel has added a 'oldnoconfig' target, since renamed 'olddefconfig', that will work correctly, but this target does not exist in all projects that rely on the kconfig workflow. Update buildroot to use 'oldnoconfig' when available, and fallback to the default method otherwise.

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.
