From: Javi Merino Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:37:02 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Documentation: mention scripts/diffconfig tool X-Git-Url: http://git.efficios.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=673d29f9a00b0c63ad3f4e2136eb4e181281fbfd;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git Documentation: mention scripts/diffconfig tool The kconfig documentation suggests using plain 'diff' to compare config files and then adds "Yes, we need something better here". Commit a717417e7f96 ("kconfig: add diffconfig utility") added what that comment was looking for.
