1 | The following is a list of files and features that are going to be |
2 | removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what | |
3 | exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed, | |
4 | and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed | |
5 | from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this | |
6 | file. | |

10 | What: "autoscr" command | |
11 | When: August 2009 | |
12 | Why: "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. | |

21 | What: GPL cleanup |
22 | When: August 2009 | |
23 | Why: 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. | |

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

35 | What: Individual I2C commands |
36 | When: April 2009 | |
37 | Why: 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. | |

47 | What: Legacy NAND code | |
48 | When: April 2009 | |
49 | Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in | |
50 | more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel. | |
