Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 13/13] Remove BR2_DEPRECATED
Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2016 23:07:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87oa2l7243.fsf@dell.be.48ers.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161015145107.18264-14-arnout@mind.be> (Arnout Vandecappelle's message of "Sat, 15 Oct 2016 16:51:07 +0200")
>>>>> "Arnout" == Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <arnout@mind.be> writes:
> The BR2_DEPRECATED logic is a lot less useful than the legacy handling,
> because the symbols just disappears without warning to the user. For
> example, we had a few defconfigs that were using deprecated symbols
> (which were not actually used because BR2_DEPRECATED wasn't set) so
> these didn't build the expected code anymore.
> Also, the idea behind BR2_DEPRECATED is that you can easily revive it
> again if there is interest. However, it is relatively easy to revert
> the removal of a package as well.
> The deprecation is also more effort because it has to be removed twice:
> once when deprecating, and once when really removing.
> It doesn't make sense to add a legacy entry for BR2_DEPRECATED. Users
> who actually used it will get legacy warnings instead.
> Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) <arnout@mind.be>
Committed, thanks.
