Hello |

If you maintain kernels based on genpatches for a non Gentoo Linux |
| 6 |
audience and do not want a Gentoo Linux menu or Gentoo Linux defaults |
| 7 |
present on those particular kernels; then I want to make you aware that |
| 8 |
you need to ensure that you drop 4567_distro-Gentoo-Kconfig.patch from |
| 9 |
the patch set after extraction. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This patch has been, in first instance, introduced to deal with one of |
| 12 |
the large annoyances our users have to deal with; which is the need |
| 13 |
for the user to enable DEVTMPFS, we now enable this by default. As a |
| 14 |
result, our users will no longer experience this problem and a lot of |
| 15 |
documentation that previously recommended this can be simplified. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Besides that, we also try to provide options that ease changing a lot |
| 18 |
of CONFIG variables at once; for instance, if an user wants systemd |
| 19 |
support in the kernel the user can now toggle just one option instead |
| 20 |
of searching all the options one after another. This latter addition is |
| 21 |
an experiment, but I believe that it will be seen as useful... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This will be present in the next releases (3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.10+). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If you experience inconvenience, let me know so I can help. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Thank you for your understanding. |
