1The 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, 4and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed 5from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this 6file. 7 8--------------------------- 9 10What: 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. 21 22Who: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> 23 24--------------------------- 25 26What: 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. 35 36Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers 37
