| 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, |
| 4 | and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed |
| 5 | from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this |
| 6 | file. |

| 10 | What: "autoscr" command |
| 11 | When: August 2009 |
| 12 | Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr" |
| 13 | command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as |
| 14 | used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported |
| 15 | for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be |
| 16 | removed. |

| Wolfgang Denk | 78237df | 2009-04-02 17:31:09 +0200 | [diff] [blame^] | 21 | What: GPL cleanup |
| 22 | When: August 2009 |
| 23 | Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot |
| 24 | source code that are either missing a valid GPL license |
| 25 | header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the |
| 26 | GPL. |
| 27 | Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree. |
| 28 | See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files |
| 29 | for an old and probably incomplete list of such files. |

| Peter Tyser | 5fc56b9 | 2009-01-30 16:36:40 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | What: Individual I2C commands |
| 36 | When: April 2009 |
| 37 | Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm", |
| 38 | "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is |
| 39 | currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same |
| 40 | functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual |
| 41 | I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to |
| 42 | CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE. |

| 46 | |
| 47 | What: Legacy NAND code |
| 48 | When: April 2009 |
| 49 | Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in |
| 50 | more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel. |
