Also most of the other packages can already be disabled, just not the source one. Being able to disable the source allows us to shave ~5 additional minutes per build. As I wrote it's in the context of a CI system that builds kernel many times per day as we work on it. I thought it could be a useful option for others as well so I'm sharing it, in case it could be. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
