2 # Config.in.legacy - support for backward compatibility
4 # When an existing Config.in symbol is removed, it should be added again in
5 # this file, and take appropriate action to approximate backward compatibility.
6 # This will make the transition for the user more convenient.
8 # When adding legacy symbols to this file, add them to the front. The oldest
9 # symbols will be removed again after about two years.
11 # The symbol should be copied as-is from the place where it was previously
12 # defined, but the help text should be removed or replaced with something that
13 # explains how to fix it.
15 # For bool options, the old symbol should select BR2_LEGACY, so that the user
16 # is informed at build-time about selected legacy options.
17 # If there is an equivalent (set of) new symbols, these should be select'ed by
18 # the old symbol for backwards compatibility.
19 # It is not possible to select an option that is part of a choice. In that
20 # case, the new option should use the old symbol as default. This requires a
21 # change outside of Config.in.legacy, and this should be clearly marked as such
22 # in a comment, so that removal of legacy options also include the removal of
23 # these external references.
25 # [Example: renaming a bool option that is part of a choice from FOO to BAR]
28 # prompt "Choose foobar"
37 # prompt "Choose foobar"
38 # default BR2_BAR_1 if BR2_FOO_1 # legacy
39 # default BR2_BAR_2 if BR2_FOO_2 # legacy
46 # and in Config.in.legacy:
48 # bool "foobar 1 has been renamed"
50 # <suitable help text>
51 # # Note: BR2_FOO_1 is still referenced from package/foo/Config.in
53 # bool "foobar 2 has been renamed"
55 # <suitable help text>
56 # # Note: BR2_FOO_2 is still referenced from package/foo/Config.in
60 # For string options, it is not possible to directly select another symbol. In
61 # this case, a hidden wrap bool option has to be added, that defaults to y if
62 # the old string is not set at its default value. The wrap symbol should select
64 # If the original symbol has been renamed, the new symbol should use the value
65 # of the old symbol as default. Like for choice options, a comment should be
66 # added to flag that the symbol is still used in another file.
68 # [Example: renaming a string option from FOO to BAR]
70 # config BR2_FOO_STRING
71 # string "Some foo string"
74 # config BR2_BAR_STRING

3029 The BR2_PACKAGE_LVM2_DMSETUP_ONLY was a negative option, which
3030 led to problems with other packages that need the full lvm2
3031 suite. Therefore, the option has been replaced with the
3032 positive BR2_PACKAGE_LVM2_STANDARD_INSTALL option.

3041 The BR2_PACKAGE_QT_JAVASCRIPTCORE option was available to
3042 force the activation or disabling of the JIT compiler in the
3043 Qt Javascript interpreter. However, the JIT compiler is not
3044 available for all architectures, so forcing its activation
3045 does not always work. Moreover, Qt knows by itself for which
3046 architectures JIT support is possible, and will
3047 automatically enable it if possible.
3049 Therefore, this option was in fact useless, and causing
3050 build problems when enabled on architectures for which the
3051 JIT support was not available. It has been removed, and
3052 there is no replacement: Qt will enable JIT at compile time

3126 bool "ARM OABI support has been removed"
3129 The support for the ARM OABI was deprecated since a while,
3130 and has been removed completely from Buildroot. It is also
3131 deprecated in upstream gcc, since gcc 4.7. People should
3132 switch to EABI instead, which should not be a problem as
3133 long as you don't have pre-built OABI binaries in your
3134 system that you can't recompile.

3166 bool "the ARM VFP floating point option has been renamed"
3169 Due to a major refactoring of the floating-point handling of
3170 the ARM architecture support, the BR2_VFP_FLOAT option has
3171 been replaced with a choice of options that allows to select
3172 between various VFP versions/capabilities.
