Well, this oldconfig is not exactly right after randpackageconfig.
We do this:
- randpackageconfig
- fixup_config()
- oldconfig
The fixup_config() function potentially does some changes to
the .config file, and that's why we re-run oldconfig afterwards. This
ensures that the build will not wait indefinitely while asking the user
the value of a config option.
Therefore, I wouldn't qualify this oldconfig as "redundant".
Best regards,
Thomas
