Description

We currently allow for rbt options to be marked as deprecated, and we'll
display deprecation info in the documentation and help text for the option.
But we weren’t emitting any warnings when users actually passed them on
the command line. This change allows rbt to emit a deprecation warning
when a deprecated option is used.

This change also allows setting a replacement option and the version in
which the option will be removed. Our sphinx documentation building
functions and help text building logic have been updated to include these.

I decided to move our RBTools-specific option attributes out of
Option.attrs and made them direct attributes on the Option class
instead. This keeps a clearer separation from the argparse arguments
and lets us keep this information around after the Option is added to
the parser (previously we would strip all of our custom attributes
before adding an option to the parser). We also get easy typing on
these attributes now.

We also recently marked rbt login's --enable-logging as deprecated, and
this change defines its replacement (--debug) and removal version (6.0).

Testing Done


Tested rbt login -l saw the deprecation warning
Tested rbt login with options other than -l, saw no warnings
Ran unit tests.
Built docs and looked at options that have one or more of the custom

  RBTools attributes (config key, extended help, added in and the various

  deprecation related attributes).

Yeah it should be, this gets fixed in a later change in my stack.

Do we have a local logger we can use?

maubin Nov. 18, 2025, 10:44 p.m.

We use the root logger everywhere else in this file, and we do some setup for it in BaseCommand._init_logging().

On a sort of side note I do see that we have self.log = logging.getLogger('rb.%s' % self.name) in the init method for BaseCommand, but we don't use that logger anywhere in the RBTools codebase. I don't really wanna touch that in this change though.
