- 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.
- Who: Ben Warren <biggerbadderben@gmail.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
