As much as I like to keep backward compatibility when it makes sense,
external-deps has been broken for ~18 months now (since we moved
downloads to sub-directories), and no one complained. It's even been in
an LTS for 7 months now, and still no complain so far...
Besides, show-info is a versatile and easily extendable solution to
extract this kind of information from Buildroot.
So, what's the point in keeping external-deps?
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
