I think for Wolfgang's case that might just have to be handled with an external wrapper, translating all of the ways to run MAKEALL into
Yes, you are right, an external wrapper would work, too. Silly me.
OTOH, why not keep a script under the old name that provides such functionality to translate calls to the buildman API?
My concern is that we'll get people complaining about things not being mapped back exactly right. For example, MAKEALL am335x_evm builds one board, am335x_evm_config but buildman am335x_evm builds the whole family of configs. For a build test bisect run, that's fine (even if not optimal in that it'll build more than required). In fact if I read things right (Simon?) buildman is bad for a single board/config.
If we map out MAKEALL's -m/-M to just fail and say use get_maintainer.pl I think we can "good enough" map out everything else. With perhaps an echo to please use buildman directly when possible?
