Arnout, All,

On 2015-01-25 16:31 +0100, Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) spake thusly:
> This commit reverts 8a46d4bf1f and replaces it with a different
> approach: skipping of the legacy config options is passed explicitly
> through the environment variable SKIP_LEGACY, which forces
> BR2_SKIP_LEGACY to y.
> 
> Note that it is necessary for BR2_SKIP_LEGACY to be user-visible,
> otherwise it will not be taken into account by 'make oldconfig' and
> you would be questioned about the legacy options. Also, because
> randconfig may randomly turn this option off or on, it is necessary
> to select it and not simply default to BR2_SKIP_LEGACY_FROM_ENV.

I was not very happy with a user-visible skip-legacy option, so I
respinned a version without it.

Care to have a look and see if it still addresses all your concerns?

Thanks for this initial spin! :-)
