Note that older releases, e.g. dunfell, are supported by the Yocto project for at least until April 2022: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases . So we maybe need a flag to toggle the new syntax behaviour?
The current meta-rust already changed to the new syntax and therefore depends on a version greater than dunfell-23.0.10. The switch would then mainly apply for all code bases relying on older meta-rust commits being used. Is this something which needs to be supported?
I don't see a need for a toggle for the new syntax. dunfell does support the new syntax, and I can't think of a good reason why someone wouldn't be able to use the newest dunfell release
I propose that this should be merged. As @avrabe pointed out, meta-rust already implemented the override syntax in https://github.com/meta-rust/meta-rust/commit/bf6705fb7f41b16c3277cbf84af0b9757dcd3a01
Dunfell is supported, but anything earlier than that (zeus, ...) not.
Otherwise building in honister is not working anymore. Seems to me it is now enforced to use the new syntax.
