Hi Rasmus,
It is sometimes useful to be able to define the entire default environment in an external file.
There is already available script for extracting the environment.
Please look into: ./scripts/get_default_envs.sh
Maybe you can reuse it in this patch?
I'm sorry, but I don't see what I could use that for. It seems to do the opposite of what I want, namely extract the default environment and store it in a plain-text file. I want to provide a plain-text file to define the default environment.
It's quite likely that that script can be useful for generating a sketch for the external file (i.e., build a U-boot as "usual" with default environment built from various config options etc. etc., then hand-edit that file to remove redundant stuff and add the things one needs). The thing is, having the default environment in an external file makes it much easier to put it under version control than having to maintain a branch inside the U-boot repo just to tweak CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS.
