Since when I forget to "cp ../config-2.5 .config", I don't really want "make oldconfig", I want to do the forgotten cp. I think there's hardly anyone who wants oldconfig in that case, rather menuconfig/xconfig or a cp like I mentioned. Since kbuild/lkc does not know, it shouldn't make that (bad) guess. If .config exist but is not current, I think in 99% of the cases we really want make oldconfig, so that's fine. --Kai - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
