[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] mk: allow updates to build config on make install

[Thomas Monjalon]

> > From: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson at intel.com>
> > 
> > When running "make config", an additional config.orig file is also
> > generated, which is intended to hold the original, clean configuration
> > from the template.
> > When running make install, we first check if there is no existing
> > .config file, and run make config if not. If there is a file, we then
> > check if it's unmodified, in which case we regenerate a new .config to
> > take account of any possible updates to the template. Finally, in the
> > case where there is an existing .config file, and it HAS been modified,
> > we then do a check to see if the template has had further updates, and
> > throw an error if so. If no updates, we continue with the build using
> > the existing, user-modified config.
