Are we going to start using the config fragments we created a while ago? (Or did we not reach consensus on that?)
I wouldn't say there was a strong consensus. But I think we should push to make it available at an infrastructure level so those who do want to use it can.
Actually, I just went back a re-read the old thread about config fragments. I can't seem to find anything like a consensus, but I don't want to give up, so here is what I plan to do...
Create a git repo, (kernel/configs.git ?)
Have a branch called config-core-tracking which will contain
linaro-base.conf ubuntu.conf android.conf
the idea being that this is a topic branch to pull into linux-linaro-core-tracking. I'll also keep config-core-3.X branches for previous linux versions, so people lagging tip have access to them.
I'll put the vexpress/origen/imx5 fragments into a branch called config-boards-tracking so they are available to experiment with. Though I believe that any Landing Team wanting to use config fragments for their kernel would want to add their fragment to their working tree as a topic instead.
Now, if the Ubuntu kernel packaging scripts could gain an option to generate a config from these fragments... :-)
