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.
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
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
30 # [Example: renaming a string option from FOO to BAR]
32 # config BR2_FOO_STRING
33 # string "Some foo string"
36 # config BR2_BAR_STRING
37 # string "Some bar string"
38 # default BR2_FOO_STRING if BR2_FOO_STRING != "" # legacy
40 # and in Config.in.legacy:
41 # config BR2_FOO_STRING
42 # string "The foo string has been renamed"
44 # <suitable help text>
46 # config BR2_FOO_STRING_WRAP
48 # default y if BR2_FOO_STRING != ""
51 # # Note: BR2_FOO_STRING is still referenced from package/foo/Config.in

714 bool "qt javascriptcore option removed"
717 The BR2_PACKAGE_QT_JAVASCRIPTCORE option was available to
718 force the activation or disabling of the JIT compiler in the
719 Qt Javascript interpreter. However, the JIT compiler is not
720 available for all architectures, so forcing its activation
721 does not always work. Moreover, Qt knows by itself for which
722 architectures JIT support is possible, and will
723 automatically enable it if possible.
725 Therefore, this option was in fact useless, and causing
726 build problems when enabled on architectures for which the
727 JIT support was not available. It has been removed, and
728 there is no replacement: Qt will enable JIT at compile time

802 bool "ARM OABI support has been removed"
805 The support for the ARM OABI was deprecated since a while,
806 and has been removed completely from Buildroot. It is also
807 deprecated in upstream gcc, since gcc 4.7. People should
808 switch to EABI instead, which should not be a problem as
809 long as you don't have pre-built OABI binaries in your
810 system that you can't recompile.
