[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-img: delete the -e and -6 options from the 'create' command
Posted by Daniel P. Berrange 6 years, 8 months ago
The '-e' and '-6' options to the 'create' command were "deprecated"
in favour of the more generic '-o' option many years ago:

  commit eec77d9e712bd4157a4e1c0b5a9249d168add738
  Author: Jes Sorensen <Jes.Sorensen@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Dec 7 17:44:34 2010 +0100

    qemu-img: Deprecate obsolete -6 and -e options

Except this was never actually a deprecation, which would imply giving
the user a warning while the functionality continues to work for a
number of releases before eventual removal. Instead the options were
immediately turned into an error + exit. Given that the functionality
is already broken, there's no point in keeping these psuedo-deprecation
messages around any longer.

Sounds and looks good.

Thanks, applied to the block branch.

Do you want to send another patch to do the same in qemu-img convert?

Opps, I wasn't paying attention & missed the convert command. I'll just
send a v2 of this that covers both.
