Deprecated Settings

Deprecated settings

When running tools from the Lepton EDA suite, you sometimes may see a warning like this:

WARNING: The RC file function 'hierarchy-uref-separator' is deprecated.
RC configuration functions will be removed in an upcoming Lepton EDA
release. Please use .conf configuration files instead:
https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda/wiki/Configuration-Settings

Put the following lines into the lepton.conf file (in current directory)
or lepton-user.conf (in user's configuration directory, typically
$HOME/.config/lepton-eda/), replacing MYVALUE with the desired
option's value:

[netlist.hierarchy]
refdes-attribute-separator=MYVALUE

It means that the option you are trying to set in the old-style configuration file (e.g. in gnetlistrc, gschemrc) has been replaced by the new one, and it should be defined in one of the *.conf configuration files, as described in the Overview section. Old settings are still valid, but they will be removed in future releases, hence the warning.

Note: if some option is present in both (new and old) configuration files, then the value from the old configuration file will take precedence.

Deprecated settings are listed in the tables below (the new settings in the right column are shown in the form [group_name]::key_name). Also, they can be found in the geda-deprecated-config.scm file (look for define-rc-deprecated-config entries there).
