One thing I would really like to see in the kernel spell is support
for /proc/config.gz. I can't recall the exact kerneloption to turn it
on, but if the file exists on the system it should be an option for
getting the starting .config. Having the file in /etc/sorcery/local is
nice when experimenting with kernels, but when I build a new kernel
once in a while I always do
gunzip -c /proc/config.gz > /etc/sorcery/local/kernel.config
and if sorcery/the kernel spell offered to do that for me, it
would be one less thing to remember.
