MORIN Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2021 21:53:28 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5] legacy: drop old options (branch yem/drop-old-legacy) Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Hello All! We advertise that legacy symbols will be removed after two years. However, so far, we've be more lax than that, and we only dropped symbols after about 5 year have elapsed. This series removes options in step, starting with the usual 5-year threshold, in 1-year increments, to eventually catch-up with the advertised 2-year threshold. Additionally, a little shell snippet is added in the comments, to help eventually drop those legacy symbols when they are still used elsewhere (e.g. as legacy defaults). Regards, Yann E. MORIN. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Yann E.
