Kernel
Configuration
Layout
The kernel configuration files are split into individual configuration files for each architecture. This way, common options can be changed globally and can be overwritten for certain architectures which gives us a more consistent configuration across all architectures.
How to update the configuration?
For these steps, you will have to change into a build environment and change to the kernel directory:
pakfire-builder shell kernel.nm
(pakfire-shell)> cd /usr/src/packages/kernel-x.y.z...
The following commands are available. Appending the argument allows you to edit a specific architecture. Default is x86_64.
oldconfig
You can run this when updating the kernel to a new release or after changing any options manually. All unset or updated options will be prompted for and all configuration files for all architectures will be updated.
(pakfire-shell)> scripts/configure oldconfig
olddefconfig
Like oldconfig, but automatically answers all options with the default value.
(pakfire-shell)> scripts/configure olddefconfig
menuconfig
If you want to edit the configuration using the kernel's config editor. All configuration files will be updated afterwards and potentially prompted for options that diverge for different architectures.
(pakfire-shell)> scripts/configure menuconfig
listnewconfig
This will list all unset options.
(pakfire-shell)> scripts/configure listnewconfig
