When building kernels the Debian way, with make-kpkg and kernel-source-xxx, as well as various Debianized kernel-patches, I find I want to run oldconfig and then xconfig. I run oldconfig so I can specifically see and tweak the new options since the last kernel version; then I run xconfig to change other options.
The problem is that if I run make-kpkg configure twice, the second time it just says things are up to date and does nothing. I've gotten around this by running make-kpkg clean in between. I was originally concerned this would wipe out my configuration settings, but that does not seem to be the case. However, this makes for a very slow process, as I must clean and then regenerate a lot of stuff. Is there a better way? Further info: Because I'm applying kernel patches, I want to do the configuration after the patching. It may also be relevant that I'm using make-kpkg's --revision and --append-to-version options. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
