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: "autoscr" command 11When: August 2009 12Why: "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. 17Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com> 18 19--------------------------- 20 21What: GPL cleanup 22When: August 2009 23Why: 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. 30 31Who: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> and board maintainers 32 33--------------------------- 34 35What: Individual I2C commands 36When: April 2009 37Why: 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. 43Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com> 44 45--------------------------- 46 47What: Legacy NAND code 48When: April 2009 49Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in 50 more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel. 51Who: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> 52
