8 I think we all agree by now that we need a way to warn about missing
9 CONFIG_ options in addition to the current implementation. Now we just
10 need someone to implement it, and have the affected ebuilds changed
11 accordingly.

13 What about the other issue which was brought up? Ebuilds enheriting
14 linux-info.eclass requires a configured kernel source? Personally, I
15 don't see anything wrong with that, if the above solution is
16 implemented (non-fatal checks remain non-fatal). Releng,
17 cross-compilers - what are your thoughts on this?
