This adds a script I've developed to migrate metadata to use the new override
syntax. It is a bit rough but since its for a single use with validation, it
doesn't need to be perfect. It is run simply as:
scripts/contrib/convert-overrides.py
It is setup and has been tested to work with OE-Core, B

Hi,
Not sure this is the right list and mail I am replying to ;)
I was wondering what's happening with backwards compatibility.
It looks like it will not be possible to have a layer with new syntax
fixes which will also work for some older versions (hardknott and older).
Regards,
Robert

That isn't correct. There are patches backported to the bitbake 1.50, 1.48
and 1.46 branches which mean the older bitbake will accept the new syntax.
This means that converted layers will work with older releases, as long
as someone has up
