Peter Tyser5fc56b92009-01-30 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,
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.

10What: "autoscr" command
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +020011When: Release 2009-09
12
13Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name.
14 The "autoscr" command is deprecated and will be replaced by
15
16 the "source" command as used by other shells such as bash.
17
18 Starting with March 2009, both commands will be supported for
19 a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
20 removed. During the transition period existing scripts and
21 environment variable names remain untouched for maximum
22 compatibiltiy; thse will be changed when support for the
23 "autoscr" command get's finally dropped.

Wolfgang Denk78237df2009-04-02 17:31:09 +020029What: GPL cleanup
30When: August 2009
31Why: Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
32 source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
33 header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
34 GPL.
35 Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
36 See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
37 for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.

Peter Tyser5fc56b92009-01-30 16:36:40 -060043What: Individual I2C commands
44When: April 2009
45Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
46 "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is
47 currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
48 functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual
49 I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
50 CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.
