- 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: "autoscr" command
- When: August 2009
- Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr"
- command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as
- used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported
- for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
- removed.
- Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
- ---------------------------
- 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: Individual I2C commands
- When: April 2009
- Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
- "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is
- currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
- functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual
- I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
- CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.
- Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
- ---------------------------
- 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.
- Who: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
