Is here anybody who can fix the bug? I see the same issues... Having recently tried using Genkernel 3.4.52 for the first time (to build a 4.3.3-hardened-r4 kernel), I ran into the fact that none of my VMs have enough disk space to successfully complete compilation. Eventually figured out that the new default kernel config from genkernel has enabled various debug options, resulting in the excessive disk usage, and that lead me to this bug. Surely this is not intentional? It seems severely broken to me :( To be more precise, I'm actually running 3.4.52.3. And the particular option in the default kernel config that is responsible for the excessive disk usage is CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO. Disabling that is sufficient to reduce disk usage to similar levels to kernel builds based around previous genkernel default configs. I'm worried that this really simle bug is getting zero attention. I have reported it almost three months ago when versions >= 3.4.52 were in the unstable state. But recently new genkernel versions were stabilised in spite of it. Fixed in git. The root bug of different order for merge.pl affected very few config options, HyperV was one of them. I have fixed that, and then disabled many of the debug options that were enabled after switching from the older kernel configs. In future, please file them as separate bugs. |
