Well, I do not know what your plans are for the other kconfig packages, so I came up with the hook solution, because it is fool-proof against any future kconfig package messing arounf with oldconfig, and because we need a quick fix. But as I said in the cover-letter, we can further improve the situation in -next. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
