savedconfig use flag for kernels seems a bit cumbersome it would be easier if there is a useflag for copying the .config from /usr/src/linux. useflag copyconfig? (php package could use a copyconfig useflag as well tbh)
We already support 3 different config sources (savedconfig, drop-ins and default config). Adding fourth option would only add more confusion. Use a symlink.
what do you mean by "drop-ins" and "default config"? And how would i use the symlink? The whole point is i dont want to run a copy command everytime. Do i make a symlink in savedconfig to /usr/src/linux then use the savedconfig flag?
Please see the options listed at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Distribution_Kernel. (Note that you don't need to copy it every time for savedconfig, you can just use the filename 'gentoo-kernel'.)
So if I did `ln -s /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel /usr/src/kernel/.config` it would copy .config on emerge with `USE=saveconfig` right? Maybe a trick to add to the documentation page? `/etc/kernel/config.d` seems useful to but not what i was looking for.
