I do not see an immediate benefit from this patch.



Boolean CONFIG options are skipped due to the following code:

if (defined($orig_configs{$config}) && $orig_configs{$config} ne "m") {
next forloop;
}


So, I do not understand why this patch is necessary
until I see 7/7.


Thank you for the feedback. I have been working on the second version for all of the patches, and I will resend the series patch soon. In the meantime, I have a few things I need cleared up, so I will reply to each email where appropriate.

For this email, I was a bit unsure of what my takeaway should be from this message. Are you saying one of the following:

1) The patch should be resent, but resent after the patch that is currently 7/7
2) The patch should be combined with the patch that is currently 7/7
3) The patch message should be improved so that people can see the need for the patch

As of now, my version 2 will be made with option 1, the patch will be after the current 7/7. If you had something different in mind, let me know. I would be happy to change it as needed.

Thanks,
David Hunter
