It disables CONFIG lines known to work only with blobs, making the compilation a bit slower and showing annoying "/\*(DEBLOBBED)*/" messages in the kernel log (yes, the kernel log from `dmesg`, **not** the build log). + +### Is it necessary to maintain this? Why does not Parabola manually changes their kernel config files? +We want to diverge as little as possible from Arch kernel configs, which are made for a blobbed Linux kernel. It is easier to "deblob" their configs (I say "deblob" with "" because it's not real deblobbing, just disabling blob's configs) than copy-pasting their changes or even applying them as patches, which may conflict with our changes. + +## Contributing +If you wish to do a request, report a bug, send feedback, etc. you can contact us on our usual channels: + + * https://labs.parabola.nu + * irc://freenode.net/#parabola + * mailto:dev@lists.parabola.nu -- cgit v1.2.2
