Bug#783995: [feature-request] Please allow to view kernel config via /proc/config.gz in all Debian kernels
Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 3.16.7-ckt7-1
Hi,
It would help me very much, if Debian kernel provided a quick ability
to see it's own configuration in /proc/config.gz.
Reason:
in some cases viewing current kernel configuration via "#
/boot/config-$(uname -r)" is not available; For example when working
with Debian-installer (booting from DVD), or working inside an OpenVZ
(or LXC) container.
For those reasons I ask you to enable "/proc/config.gz" in all
supported Debian kernels (Debian 6, 7 and 8), if possible.
As far as I'm aware it's stable feature, and there is no downside from
enabling it.
+General setup
[*] Kernel .config support
[*] Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz
