Ah, I see. --defconfig specifies the base configuration, while --configs specifies the constraints. In that case, how about --baseconfig? It might still make sense to pass --baseconfig allnoconfig or --baseconfig allyesconfig or --baseconfig randconfig, given a sufficiently complete constraints file. - Josh Triplett -- 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/
