Any chance we could drop the base- in those names and just have
configs/debug/
configs/generic
The base- is somewhat superfluous and is annoying for auto complete ;-)
It is, but was specifically added so kernels that want to do overrides like
RHEL could add their own custom configs/debug and configs/generic.
I am open to name changes but the goal was to use Fedora configs as a base
and then allow the ability to override through other directories.
So if you have a proposal to allow that, I am open to it. :-)
Cheers,
Don
