Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kbuild-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: To: linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org Cc: Linux Kernel Development , Tim Bird Hi, I have the habit of doing `make .config{.old,}' after each config run, to see what was changed. But since a few weeks, `make oldconfig' no longer seems to update `.config.old'. This also breaks the default behavior of `scripts/diffconfig' (`If no config files are specified, .config and .config.old are used.'). Was this change intentional?
