[PATCH] Use standardized name for config file.

xypron commented 10 years ago

Most Linux distributions (e.g. Debian, Fedora) use
/boot/config-$(uname -r)
for the Kernel configuration file.

Hence the deploy directory should also contain a file of this name.
The user can copy this file to directory /boot without renaming.

Thanks Heinrich, that's a nice idea.

I just pushed it as: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel/commit/ca1098b7e33bf384c0036ca52112f1b0fa4c0160 and added the config-xyz to /boot/ copy in the tools/install_kernel.sh script...

Will you push it to armv7-multiplatform too?
