If we actively know they do not work any longer, (which is probably when GCC support is declared to be obsolete.) > We dropped GPLv2 recipes from oe-core on the grounds that they are > old, unmaintained and untested. ARMv4 CPU tuning files meet those > criteria too. I'm not sure they are unmaintained, but certainly untested. We've had and continue to get contributions to tuning files that are clearly never tested. (Besides, a lot of us don't use meta-intel, we use our own BSP layers..) --Mark >>> >>> http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/commit/?id=5dbc69e339588834317b632119717996584b0d6c >>> >>> Signed-off-by: Andre McCurdy <[email protected]> >>> --- >>> meta/conf/machine/include/tune-i586-nlp.inc | 19 ------------------- >>> 1 file changed, 19 deletions(-) >>> delete mode 100644 meta/conf/machine/include/tune-i586-nlp.inc >>> >>> diff --git a/meta/conf/machine/include/tune-i586-nlp.inc >>> b/meta/conf/machine/include/tune-i586-nlp.inc >>> deleted file mode 100644 >>> index 88e5903..0000000 >>> --- a/meta/conf/machine/include/tune-i586-nlp.inc >>> +++ /dev/null >>> @@ -1,19 +0,0 @@ >>> -# Settings for the GCC(1) cpu-type "quark": >>> -# >>> -# >>> -# >>> -DEFAULTTUNE ?= "i586-nlp-32" >>> - >>> -# Include the previous tune to pull in PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS >>> -require conf/machine/include/x86/arch-x86.inc >>> - >>> -# x86 with no lock prefix >>> -TUNEVALID[i586-nlp] = "IA32 with Lock Prefix omitted" >>> -TUNE_CCARGS .= "${@bb.utils.contains('TUNE_FEATURES', 'i586-nlp', ' >>> -march=i586 -Wa,-momit-lock-prefix=yes', '', d)}" >>> - >>> -# Quark tune feature >>> -AVAILTUNES = "i586-nlp-32" >>> -TUNE_FEATURES_tune-i586-nlp-32 = "${TUNE_FEATURES_tune-x86} i586-nlp" >>> -BASE_LIB_tune-i586-nlp-32 = "lib" >>> -TUNE_PKGARCH_tune-i586-nlp-32 = "i586-nlp-32" >>> -PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS_tune-i586-nlp-32 = "i586-nlp-32" >>> >> -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
