The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
|
|
removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what
|
|
exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
|
|
and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed
|
|
from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
|
|
file.

|
|
|
|
What: CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
|
|
When: Release 2009-11
|
|
|
|
Why: U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs. New drivers with
|
|
the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
|
|
this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment.
|
|
|
|
All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
|
|
over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
|
|
In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
|
|
is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
|
|
will be removed, effectively making it the only API. This should
|
|
provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
|
|
all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.

|
|
|
|
What: "autoscr" command
|
|
When: Release 2009-09
|
|
|
|
Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name.
|
|
The "autoscr" command is deprecated and will be replaced by
|
|
|
|
the "source" command as used by other shells such as bash.
|
|
|
|
Starting with March 2009, both commands will be supported for
|
|
a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
|
|
removed. During the transition period existing scripts and
|
|
environment variable names remain untouched for maximum
|
|
compatibiltiy; thse will be changed when support for the
|
|
"autoscr" command get's finally dropped.

|
|
|
|
What: GPL cleanup
|
|
When: August 2009
|
|
Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
|
|
source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
|
|
header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
|
|
GPL.
|
|
Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
|
|
See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
|
|
for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
|
|
|
|
Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
|
|
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
What: Legacy NAND code
|
|
When: April 2009
|
|
Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in
|
|
more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel.
