[Buildroot] make saveconfig ?

[Sagaert Johan]

Hi
 
Where is the make saveconfig ?
 
I have made use of the BUILDROOT_LOCAL var to store my config files
(bbox,uclibc,kernel and buildroot)  and my own kernel patches.
 
After making some changes and when i was happy with the build  i did a make
saveconfig to get my changed config files copied back to my BUILDROOT_LOCAL
directory.
 
Now i seem to do it all by hand since the make saveconfig  no longer exists.
 
I used the version of 10 nov .
 
Johan

It doesn't exist anymore, because the same thing could be achieved
using another feature of Buildroot: adding support for a new board.

See http://buildroot.org/buildroot.html#board_support for details. If
you have any questions, don't hesitate.

Sincerly,

Thomas

Hi Kelvin,

Please do not reply to me directly, but to the list instead.

When saveconfig is used this way, it makes sense to re-add it, that's
right. It could be something like:

 make BOARD=yourcompany/yourboard saveboardconfig

Which would save: kernel configuration, uclibc configuration, busybox
configuration, u-boot configuration to
target/device/yourcompany/yourboard.

Would this fit your needs ?

Sincerly,

Thomas
