I'm not sure if this is a bug, intended savedconfig semantics, or what. It kind of feels like everyone has their own idea of how savedconfig should work. With USE=savedconfig on sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel, any /etc/kernel/config.d snippets seem to take no effect because: 1) gentoo-kernel's src_prepare does the config merging, then 2) kernel-build.eclass impl of src_configure does restore_config, clobbering the earlier changes If I apply the following: ``` --- a/eclass/kernel-build.eclass +++ b/eclass/kernel-build.eclass @@ -243,9 +243,6 @@ kernel-build_src_configure() { MAKEARGS+=( KBZIP2="lbzip2" ) fi - restore_config .config - [[ -f .config ]] || die "Ebuild error: please copy default config into .config" - if [[ -z "${KV_LOCALVERSION}" ]]; then KV_LOCALVERSION=$(sed -n -e 's#^CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="\(.*\)"$#\1#p' \ .config) --- a/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.10.5.ebuild +++ b/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.10.5.ebuild @@ -125,6 +125,9 @@ src_prepare() { echo "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=\"${myversion}\"" > "${T}"/version.config || die local dist_conf_path="${WORKDIR}/gentoo-kernel-config-${GENTOO_CONFIG_VER}" + restore_config .config + [[ -f .config ]] || die "Ebuild error: please copy default config into .config" + local merge_configs=( "${T}"/version.config "${dist_conf_path}"/base.config ``` then things seem to work as expected for /etc/kernel/config.d snippets. I'm not sure if my patch is right, or maybe it's almost right but we shouldn't include the base config, just consider user snippets instead when merging with savedconfig?
Note that this shows up with making e.g. USE=debug ineffective with savedconfig too, which feels unfortunate.

After sitting on this a few days and trying it on more machines, I think we should clobber version.config and so on (otherwise you can't override it in savedconfig), and just restore before calling kernel-build_merge_configs?
That would make it (untested, will now): ``` --- a/eclass/kernel-build.eclass +++ b/eclass/kernel-build.eclass @@ -243,9 +243,6 @@ kernel-build_src_configure() { MAKEARGS+=( KBZIP2="lbzip2" ) fi - restore_config .config - [[ -f .config ]] || die "Ebuild error: please copy default config into .config" - if [[ -z "${KV_LOCALVERSION}" ]]; then KV_LOCALVERSION=$(sed -n -e 's#^CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="\(.*\)"$#\1#p' \ .config) diff --git a/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.47.ebuild b/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.47.ebuild index d037ffe5cc80..d18a8094cda9 100644 --- a/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.47.ebuild +++ b/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6.47.ebuild @@ -149,5 +149,8 @@ src_prepare() { use secureboot && merge_configs+=( "${dist_conf_path}/secureboot.config" ) + restore_config .config + [[ -f .config ]] || die "Ebuild error: please copy default config into .config" + kernel-build_merge_configs "${merge_configs[@]}" } ``` But we need to then figure out how to handle vanilla-kernel, which was relying on the eclass to handle it.

Previously, the saved config would unconditionally overwrite everything, which could be between inconvenient and plain broken (particularly if savedconfig contained signing key paths referring to ${T}). The new logic applies saved config via merge method, on top of the default config along with ebuild and eclass overrides. However, MODULES_SIGN_KEY* and user config snippets do override saved config for convenience.
