So after talking about it at the last Linaro Connect, I've finally gotten around to making a first pass at providing config fragments for the linaro kernel. I'd like to propose merging this for 12.04, and doing so early so we can make sure that all the desired config options are present in the fragments and to allow the vairous linaro build systems to begin migrating their config generation over.
The current tree is here:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/jstultz/android.git%3Ba=shortlog%3Bh=r...
The most relevant commit being:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/jstultz/android.git%3Ba=commitdiff%3Bh...
This includes config fragments for a linaro-base, an android-ization fragment, and board configs for panda, origen and imx53.
I suspect we'll need an ubuntu specific fragment as well as all the other board fragments.
There is likely to be quite a bit of churn as we decide what sort of configs are really common and which are board specific. But that's ok.
Configs are generated from the config fragments, as follows:
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh ./configs/linaro-base.conf ./configs/android.conf ./configs/panda.conf
You may see warnings, which are not fatal, but should be reported so they can be properly cleaned up.
I'm asking for Build folks to take a look at the above and consider how they might merge in fragment assembly into their system replacing their current config generation.
I'd ask Landing teams to take a look at this, and report any missing config options or fragment chunks they'd like to see.
