Oh, cool! I expected 6.0.9 to contain the fix though: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/7/209 > init/Kconfig says this for SYSFS_DEPRECATED (which is where I got lead astray, > as most of my laptop is Fedora Rawhide and therefor "released this week"): > > If you are using a distro that was released in 2006 or later, > it should be safe to say N here. > > nash 6.0.9 came out in April 2007, and I suspect, but can't prove, that the > relevant change was this one: > > * Mon Aug 27 2007 Peter Jones <pjones@...hat.com> - 6.0.12-2 > - Fix segfault in scsi vpd probe code > - Fix block device creation > > That was just over 3 months ago. Yeah right, even if it is fixed earlier, it's at least 6 months. > We probably need to fix that help text, > but I admit not being sure what guidance we should give now.... Right, the help text needs to be changed. There are distros like Red Hat which don't support !DEPRECATED at all today, so we should probably just remove the date and add that to the help text. On the other hand, we are currently considering making the DEPRECATED behavior a boot-time option, so it can be changed on the kernel command line instead of a compile option. There would only be a compile-time default to set. We will get to that after the current kobject work (~100 patches) in Greg's tree is finished.
