Description Rudolf Kastl 2003-05-05 08:26:32 UTC
genkernel gentoo-sources --myconfig=/path/to/my.config still builds the kernel
with the default config (as far as i understood from the script the config file
must be called "myconfig"). i consider this a bug because its weird behaviour.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge genkernel
2.genkernel gentoo-sources --myconfig=/path/to/my.config
3. unless you specified myconfig as name for the user config it will use the
default config that comes with the kernel.

Actual Results:  
a kernel with default config instead of my user created and specified one.

Expected Results:  
a kernel compiled with my user defined config.

this happens with genkernel 1.1

most people wont use the script anyways but would be neat if that small issue could be fixed.

thanks alot.

nowhere does it say to use --myconfig=/path/to/config 
 
/etc/kernels/myconfig = personal .config
