Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0711161337380.1817@scrub.home> Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:54:00 +0100 (CET) From: Roman Zippel <zippel@...ux-m68k.org> To: Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org> cc: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: [PATCH] kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets Hi, On Fri, 16 Nov 2007, Sam Ravnborg wrote: > 1) make all*config, randconfig, defconfig is broken on 64-bit boxes With your approach you made it impossible to set 64BIT from all*.config, which is the proper way to set the defaults. > 2) A pure code refactoring patch is reverted for no obvious reason It was done for the wrong reasons, otherwise the warning before it should have been included as well and then the function could have been reused for the "# ... is not set" case as well. > 3) Behavioral changes are not documented: > - 32-bit/64-bit can only be selected in config is you specify ARCH=x86 Which is now the default and thus it behaves more like other archs. > - ARCH= takes precedence over kernel config for a configured kernel What point is there in being able to specify ARCH=x86_64 and then still produce a 32bit kernel? > 4) The changelogs miss title on reverted patches Seriously? bye, Roman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
