Having a true minimum +# config that you can use against other configs is very useful if +# someone else has a config that breaks on your code. By only forcing +# those configurations that are truly required to boot your machine +# will give you less of a chance that one of your set configurations +# will make the bug go away. This will give you a better chance to +# be able to reproduce the reported bug matching the broken config. +# +# Note, this does take some time, and may require you to run the +# test over night, or perhaps over the weekend. But it also allows +# you to interrupt it, and gives you the current minimum config +# that was found till that time. +# +# Note, this test automatically assumes a BUILD_TYPE of oldconfig +# and its test type acts like boot. +# TODO: add a test version that makes the config do more than just +# boot, like having network access. +# +# OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is the path and filename of the file that will +# be created from the MIN_CONFIG. If you interrupt the test, set +# this file as your new min config, and use it to continue the test. +# This file does not need to exist on start of test. +# This file is not created until a config is found that can be removed. +# (required field) +# +# START_MIN_CONFIG is the config to use to start the test with. +# you can set this as the same OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG, but if you do +# the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG file must exist. +# (default MIN_CONFIG) +# +# IGNORE_CONFIG is used to specify a config file that has configs that +# you already know must be set. Configs are written here that have +# been tested and proved to be required. It is best to define this +# file if you intend on interrupting the test and running it where +# it left off. New configs that it finds will be written to this file +# and will not be tested again in later runs. +# (optional) +# +# Example: +# +# TEST_TYPE = make_min_config +# OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG = /path/to/config-new-min +# START_MIN_CONFIG = /path/to/config-min +# IGNORE_CONFIG = /path/to/config-tested +# |
