base-3.14.10: CONFIG.Common.linuxCommon: CONFIG-SITE.Common.linuxCommon not called

[Peter Zumbruch <p.zumbruch@gsi.de>]

Hi, once again, all,

Following the thread base-3.14.10: libcurses vs. libncurses 
<http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2008/msg01196.php>
I said
> Knowing that I could redefine it with an additional, local, 
> site-specific CONFIG.... file
So I tried to implement a file
  os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linuxCommon

containing the Site specific changes and believing the header of the 
os/CONFIG.Common.linuxCommon file:
> # Definitions for linux target builds
> # Sites may override these definitions in CONFIG_SITE.Common.linuxCommon
but it turned out that the CONFIG_SITE file was never called.

So my question is, would it make sense to follow the strategy used in
  os/CONFIG.Common.{UnixCommon,RTEMS, vxWorksCommon}
to add in general at os/CONFIG.Common.linuxCommon's end the following lines?
> #--------------------------------------------------
> # Allow site overrides
> -include $(CONFIG)/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linuxCommon
> -include $(CONFIG)/os/CONFIG_SITE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH).linuxCommon
In my case this turned out to work.
I am actually not sure whether the second include is also needed, but it 
would make sense.

Best regards,
Peter
