Peter Tyser9bfa1142009-01-30 16:36:40 -06001The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
2removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what
3exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
Wolfgang Denk239862b2010-09-29 11:25:55 +02004and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed
Peter Tyser9bfa1142009-01-30 16:36:40 -06005from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
6file.

Mike Frysingera6dacda2011-10-01 10:15:04 +000010What: boards with xxx_config targets in top level Makefile
11When: Release v2012.03
12
13Why: 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.

Wolfgang Denk636e95d2009-04-02 17:31:09 +020026What: GPL cleanup
27When: August 2009
28Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
29 source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
30 header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
31 GPL.
32 Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
33 See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
34 for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.

36Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers
