This complicates the eclass, genpatches scripts and all in tree ebuilds for a single patch in a single tarball; why not just exclude it if you explicitly don't want it? It's not much more than your proposal; so, excluding the patch seems like a much more simpler approach. Alternatively, people can add a patch that patches away ./Kconfig:11. This is also meant to be opt-out and not opt-in; as in the end, this change causes documentation changes and thus must be present in any kernel on Gentoo Linux, otherwise we are introducing inconsistency. --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/ixRM28yaJ=.nkAYZkE.rUjz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSDSQAAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9iaMH/1SuE0PwTsJgZg49wa9wsQ3f ohI2gqOMS9z3G+cY+dPYrwSQGjNo+pM6DaxVLNuclgApeVk1NoiLgQcUqDdGC7zw gclTwOu3hbOcbpO8tgFz5HH0s4HH22XE1B4CwqXr5XU1AFrZ33yfvtHoOGYKJ4ol 4r2vmZGPvoR39RP0E+jneJDPlnpK3dq01SL6T77EuwEuzj6PtHKxnNFNa5D13QT6 Ra/t/peWNiiWoFPLduQG13TDIQjLxpN/OZgevLiDLUCPUzUgdl4LeSfKDGxTcvlU i3F5PJ3KjTFZMW7gog+tPWoNPa7IwbDv1ruhChMcEROMbrK4iEoJLD3p1o8+1+M= =zm3T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/ixRM28yaJ=.nkAYZkE.rUjz--
