community kconfig check: add more options

How to get more kernel config options enabled

Kernel config checks have been reworked a lot, and the kconfigchecks.toml file is now in pmaports. If you would like to see kernel config options enabled, the fastest way would be to enable them yourself in a merge request. (If you feel that your proposed change is controversial, discuss it first, e.g. in postmarketos-devel. But if you feel that probably everybody benefits from this, feel free to just create the merge request.)

  1. Edit kconfigcheck.toml and add the new options:
  • Extend an existing block or add a new one if it is a new topic
  • If you added a new block, consider adding it to the community = [ block at the top so all devices in main and community require it.
  • Alternatively you may add options="pmb:kconfigcheck-YOURNEWCATEGORY" to specific kernels for only enforcing it there.
  • Example: a7099ed8
  1. Run pmbootstrap kconfig check to have it list the kernels that now need to be adjusted. (This no longer shows unrelated warnings, pmbootstrap#2265 (closed)!)
  2. Run pmbootstrap kconfig edit <KERNEL PACKAGE NAME> to edit the first kernel that is failing.
  3. Repeat step 2 and 3 until all kernels are adjusted.
  4. Open your merge request.

(It would be great if we could automate this more, with something like pmbootstrap kconfig check --fix, see pmbootstrap#2190)
