Dear Remy,

In message <48b309fe.0a04d00a.527b.ffffa801@...google.com> you wrote:

This is an interesting feature, but...

> +	bool "Use uncompressed kernel image for uImage"

.. I think it is wrong to make this a configuration option. Instead, a
separate make target should be used so you can actually chose which
image you wantr (or even both versions) without having to reconfigure
/ rebuild the kernel.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

GUIs  are  virtually  useless.  Learn  tools.  They're  configurable,
scriptable, automatable, cron-able, interoperable, etc. We don't need
no brain-dead winslurping monolithic claptrap.
