olddefconfig uses defaults for new symbols but oldconfig for "old" |
| 23 |
symbols. It's the same as 'yes "" | make oldconfig'. |

|
| 25 |
From "make help", silentoldconfig="Same as oldconfig, but quietly, |
| 26 |
additionally update deps". But there's so much screen output when you |
| 27 |
run them that I don't think that you can spot the difference (I |
| 28 |
couldn't when I tried a few years ago; and IIRC 'yes "" | make |
| 29 |
silentoldconfig' fails - I can't remember why). |
