Re: [U-Boot] [RFC} [PATCH] Feature removal due to lack of custodians
Hi Marek, What do you mean with 'removal' of 'USB support' and 'network support'? Do you intend that U-Boot 2012.06 be stripped of its USB code and 2012.09 of its network code? I can't speak for WD, but noone really maintains that code, what else do you expect to do with it? USB support is literally trash. At least I would expect that the code be frozen (patches declined but existing code kept), not removed. As far as I am concerned, network and to a lesser extent USB (YMMV, of course) are very useful features and dropping them would be a great loss for U-Boot. Plus, I am currently working on code that relates to Ethernet. :) Amicalement, -- Albert. ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
