Commit Message

Masahiro Yamada Feb. 28, 2018, 12:15 a.m. UTC
As commit cedd55d49dee ("kconfig: Remove silentoldconfig from help
and docs; fix kconfig/conf's help") mentioned, 'silentoldconfig' is a
historical misnomer.  That commit removed it from help and docs since
it is an internal interface.  If so, it should be allowed to rename
it to something more intuitive.  'syncconfig' is the one I came up
with because it updates the .config if necessary, then synchronize
other files with it.

It wouldn't hurt to update this line also: (I would just drop "silentoldconfig")

     Make oldconfig/silentoldconfig/menuconfig/etc.

in Documentation/networking/i40e.txt.


thanks,

I wonder if it might be helpful to keep the silentoldconfig target for a
while and have it just fail with a message like the following:

	silentoldconfig has been renamed to syncconfig and is now an
	internal implementation detail.	What you probably want is
	oldconfig.

Going on Google and https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/12/1084, there might be
quite a lot of scripts and the like that call silentoldconfig.

Alternatively, it could call through to syncconfig and also generate a
warning that it's about to removed (like for olddefconfig).

Cheers,
Ulf
