Arnout, All,

On 2016-01-24 23:58 +0100, Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) spake thusly:
> Since the introduction of _KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG in 8ef62b99, the package's
> .config file no longer depends on anything (unless a fragment is
> defined). Therefore, there is no dependency anymore between .config
> and <pkg>-patch. Thus, it is possible that the .config file is

> Usually this works out OK because <pkg>-patch will always be done
> before <pkg>-configure, but it will fail when the user calls
> <pkg>-menuconfig explicitly. It will also fail when we enable
> top-level parallel build.

> To solve this, just add an explicit order-only dependency on
> <pkg>-patch. It really is only necessary when _KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG is
> defined and _KCONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES is not, but it doesn't hurt to

I don't understand why this is needed.

On line 65, we have;
    $$($(2)_DIR)/.config: $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FILE) $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES)

and on line 52;
    $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FILE) $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FRAGMENT_FILES): | $(1)-patch

So, unless I'm missing something, $$($(2)_DIR)/.config already has a
dependency on $(1)-patch via $$($(2)_KCONFIG_FILE)

Oh, damn, I see it now... Grr...

OK, so what made me understand is the comment in the code:

   [...] if we only have a _KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG [...]

Ok, so it goes thusly:

  - if using a defconfig file, we do not have a $(2)_KCONFIG_FILE

  - if at the same time, we have no fragments, we have no rule from
    .config to $(1)-patch.

OK, fine by me. Thanks!
