kbuild plugin: kconfigfile is modified if kconfigs is supplied
Metadata
Current evaluation
kbuild plugin modified the source tree's kconfigfile when kconfigs were supplied. Fixed by merged PR snapcore/snapcraft#2204 (commit f156050bf), which copies kconfigfile before applying kconfigs; LP #1786083 closed by maintainer ~kyrofa.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Maintainer kyrofa cited PR snapcore/snapcraft#2204 as the proposed fix; that PR was merged as commit f156050bf ("kbuild plugin: stop modifying kconfigfile"), and the Launchpad bug was closed afterwards. The fix makes the plugin copy kconfigfile into the build dir before applying kconfigs so the source tree is left untouched.
