Re: defconfig for pmac in 2.3.51 and up

maybe a dump Q, but I don't find it. In the kernels before 2.3.51 (stable &
devel) I could type 'make pmac_config' to get the most things set to my needs.
Now in 2.3.51 this defconfig is away.
Any idea? Neither on bitkeeper nor on linuxcare. Or are there new methods to
make defconfigs for certain machines?
I don't like to set every item by hand. (too much)

Strange... When I say 'make pmac_config' in the 2.3.51 tree from
bitkeeper, it does
rm -f .config arch/ppc/defconfig
cp -f arch/ppc/configs/pmac_defconfig arch/ppc/defconfig

The only thing that changed from older kernels is that the config files
now have their own subdirectory arch/ppc/configs/. But this should work
precisely as before.

(digging a little further...) Oh I see, bitkeeper doesn't have the
complete collection of arch/ppc/configs/*_defconfig files any more; no
more chrp, pmac, or prep. I still have them from a previous version.
Weird...

Wouldn't this be a side-effect of trying to 'unify' all the PPC
configs? There's only a generic PPC config option as well, an no more
CONFIG_PMAC, CONFIG_PREP, CONFIG_CHRP etc.., thy are all replaced by
the single CONFIG_ALL_PPC.

I think it still makes sense, though, to keep the default configs for
each hardware type. Makes kernel config a lot easier...
