Hi Gentoo-users, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I noticed one thing so I want to ask if it is a coincidence |
| 4 |
or intentional behaviour. It concerns "installation" of kernel |
| 5 |
sources (more exactly gentoo-sources). |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
When I installed Gentoo on new computer I followed oficial guide. |
| 8 |
So I emerged gentoo-sources, went through "make menuconfig", |
| 9 |
configured everything I needed, compiled kernel, installed, etc. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Now the funny thing: When I update sources (like now, 3.7.9) |
| 12 |
and go through "make menuconfig" again (this time in new tree), |
| 13 |
there is nearly nothing to do, except a few new features. |
| 14 |
It looks like they are "pre-configured" exactly for me! :-) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So my question is: how is this possible? Is maybe ".config" |
| 17 |
file from the old sources-tree copied to new sources-tree? |
| 18 |
Or is the actual configuration of running kernel somehow |
| 19 |
detected and ".config" file generated? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Just curious, because I think it was not always this way. |
