| Peter Tyser | 5fc56b9 | 2009-01-30 16:36:40 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | The following is a list of files and features that are going to be |
| 2 | removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what |
| 3 | exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed, |
| Wolfgang Denk | d483a22 | 2010-09-29 11:25:55 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed |
| Peter Tyser | 5fc56b9 | 2009-01-30 16:36:40 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 5 | from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this |
| 6 | file. |

| Mike Frysinger | 1285a28 | 2011-10-01 10:15:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 10 | What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile |
| 11 | When: Release v2012.03 |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Why: We have a boards.cfg file which the vast majority of boards have |
| 14 | converted over to. Boards that still manually run mkconfig in the |
| 15 | top level Makefile are either dead, or the maintainer doesn't care, |
| 16 | or they are doing something weird/wrong that should be fixed in a |
| 17 | different way, or they need to extend boards.cfg syntax (unlikely). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | In any case, if no one cares about these boards to figure out how |
| 20 | to make boards.cfg work, then we'll just punt them. |

| Ben Warren | c404cc5 | 2009-04-28 17:04:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | What: CONFIG_NET_MULTI option |
| 27 | When: Release 2009-11 |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Why: U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs. New drivers with |
| 30 | the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and |
| 31 | this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI |
| 34 | over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09). |
| 35 | In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI |
| 36 | is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI |
| 37 | will be removed, effectively making it the only API. This should |
| 38 | provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on |
| 39 | all architectures to be made to work with weak functions. |

| Wolfgang Denk | 78237df | 2009-04-02 17:31:09 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 45 | What: GPL cleanup |
| 46 | When: August 2009 |
| 47 | Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot |
| 48 | source code that are either missing a valid GPL license |
| 49 | header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the |
| 50 | GPL. |
| 51 | Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree. |
| 52 | See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files |
| 53 | for an old and probably incomplete list of such files. |
