[06:19] <dja> heya - after making a change in debian.master/config/annotations, what do I need to do to propagate the changes to the config.${ARCH}. and config.ubuntu.common files?
[06:21] <apw> dja, the annotations are checks and balances against config*, those need to be updated directly
[06:21] <dja> apw, so I've edited annotations directly
[06:22] <dja> apw, how are the config.* files generated?
[06:22] <dja> for context, I'm playing with xdp on powerpc, which works much better if CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, which happens if we switch from CPU_POWER7 to CPU_POWER8.
[06:23] <dja> (IBM never shipped any production Power7 little-endian systems, so it's safe to make ppc64el Power8 only)
[06:24] <apw> dja, the annotations will have no effect, they are only used in tree for checking those entries marked enforced, and otherwise it is used outside for review purposed
[06:25] <apw> dja, to change config you need to change the entries in config.*
[06:26] <dja> apw, so just to check I've correctly understood you - I need to directly edit debian.master/config/$ARCH/config.common.$ARCH?
[06:26] <dja> I'm happy to do that, I just thought they were automatically generated somehow
[06:26] <apw> the easiest way to override a value for a specific flavour, is to add it to the specific flavour names config file
[06:27] <apw> then a fakeroot debian/rules updateconfig will rebalance the options into common if appropriate
[06:27] <dja> apw, ah, thanks; I was trying to figure out what the updateconfig target did
[06:27] <apw> the balanced configs are good for detecting change in review
[18:40] <mamarley> This isn't directly Ubuntu-related, but I was hoping someone here might could point me in the right direction.  I have found a regression in the media/rc subsystem of the kernel on the 4.12 mainline builds.  I bisected it and filed a bug, but no-one is paying any attention to the bug.  Does anyone know who I might poke about this?
