# Deprecation of Make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've made significant progress converting AOSP from Make to Soong (Android.mk
|
|
|
|
|
to Android.bp), and we're ready to start turning off pieces of Make. If you
|
|
|
|
|
have any problems converting, please contact us via:

## Status

[build/make/core/deprecation.mk] is the source of truth, but for easy browsing:

## Module Type Deprecation Process
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'll be turning off `BUILD_*` module types as all of the users are removed
|
|
|
|
|
from AOSP (and Google's internal trees). The process will go something like
|
|
|
|
|
this, using `BUILD_PACKAGE` as an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Prerequisite: all common users of `BUILD_PACKAGE` have been removed (some
|
|
|
|
|
device-specific ones may remain).
|
|
|
|
|
* `BUILD_PACKAGE` will be moved from `AVAILABLE_BUILD_MODULE_TYPES` to
|
|
|
|
|
`DEFAULT_WARNING_BUILD_MODULE_TYPES` in [build/make/core/deprecation.mk]. This
|
|
|
|
|
will make referring to `BUILD_PACKAGE` a warning.
|
|
|
|
|
* Any devices that still have warnings will have
|
|
|
|
|
`BUILD_BROKEN_USES_BUILD_PACKAGE := true` added to their `BoardConfig.mk`.
|
|
|
|
|
* `BUILD_PACKAGE` will be switched from `DEFAULT_WARNING_BUILD_MODULE_TYPES` to
|
|
|
|
|
`DEFAULT_ERROR_BUILD_MODULE_TYPES`, which will turn referring to
|
|
|
|
|
`BUILD_PACKAGE` into an error unless the device has overridden it.
|
|
|
|
|
* At some later point, after all devices in AOSP no longer set
|
|
|
|
|
`BUILD_BROKEN_USES_BUILD_PACKAGE`, `BUILD_PACKAGE` will be moved from
|
|
|
|
|
`DEFAULT_ERROR_BUILD_MODULE_TYPES` to `OBSOLETE_BUILD_MODULE_TYPES` and the
|
|
|
|
|
code will be removed. It will no longer be possible to use `BUILD_PACKAGE`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In most cases, we expect module types to stay in the default warning state for
|
|
|
|
|
about two weeks before becoming an error by default. Then it will spend some
|
|
|
|
|
amount of time in the default error state before moving to obsolete -- we'll
|
|
|
|
|
try and keep that around for a while, but other development may cause those to
|
|
|
|
|
break, and the fix may to be to obsolete them. There is no expectation that the
|
|
|
|
|
`BUILD_BROKEN_USES_BUILD_*` workarounds will work in a future release, it's a
|
|
|
|
|
short-term workaround.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just to be clear, the above process will happen on the AOSP master branch. So
|
|
|
|
|
if you're following Android releases, none of the deprecation steps will be in
|
|
|
|
|
Android Q, and the 2020 release will have jumped directly to the end for many
|
|
|
|
|
module types.
