2 # Config.in.legacy - support for backward compatibility
3 #
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.
7 #
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.
10 #
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.
14 #
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 #
20 # For string options, it is not possible to directly select another symbol. In
21 # this case, a hidden wrap bool option has to be added, that defaults to y if
22 # the old string is not set at its default value. The wrap symbol should select
23 # BR2_LEGACY.
24 # If the original symbol has been renamed, the new symbol should use the value
25 # of the old symbol as default. This requires a change outside of
26 # Config.in.legacy, and this should be clearly marked as such below, so that
27 # removal of legacy options also include the removal of these external
28 # references.
29 #
30 # [Example: renaming a string option from FOO to BAR]
31 # original symbol:
32 # config BR2_FOO_STRING
33 # string "Some foo string"
34 #
35 # becomes:
36 # config BR2_BAR_STRING
37 # string "Some bar string"
38 # default BR2_FOO_STRING if BR2_FOO_STRING != "" # legacy
39 #
40 # and in Config.in.legacy:
41 # config BR2_FOO_STRING
42 # string "The foo string has been renamed"
43 # help
44 # <suitable help text>
45 #
46 # config BR2_FOO_STRING_WRAP
47 # bool
48 # default y if BR2_FOO_STRING != ""
49 # select BR2_LEGACY
50 #
51 # # Note: BR2_FOO_STRING is still referenced from package/foo/Config.in
52 #
53 # [End of example]
