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 |
