Description Humberto Ibarra 2016-05-02 17:04:27 UTC 
Similar issue to the one described in #8321, only this applies to yocto-layer instead of yocto-bsp script.

optparse library is deprecated since 2.7, scripts should use argparse instead.

Humberto, optparse in python3 is still available so priority is a bit lower on this.
Comment 2 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-06-21 20:35:51 UTC 
some related info on this transition https://docs.python.org/2/library/argparse.html#upgrading-optparse-code
Comment 3 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2016-06-23 19:54:32 UTC 
My fault, moving it to M1 again. CCB should agree on any milestone movement.
Comment 4 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2017-01-25 20:29:22 UTC 
This is not a priority right now so moving it to next release.
Comment 5 Daniela Plascencia 2017-11-03 18:52:08 UTC 
The yocto-layer script, along with yocto-bsp and yocto-kernel, will be removed from public repositories soon as they are no longer maintained. The request was sent to the mailing list [1], meaning this issue is obsolete.
