Merge window ...
Just a reminder that 2.6.17 is out and as usual there is now a merge window of two weeks, so try anything that you wish to see to go to Linus to me asap ...

I think we should remove old boards support.
Cannot build the following boards now.
MIPS Atlas
MIPS Malta
MIPS SEAD
EV64120
ITE 8172G
Globespan IVR
Momentum Jaguar
Toshiba JMR-TX3927
Toshiba RBTX4938
Victor MP-C30X(I'm fixing it now)
Momentum Jaguar
Momentum Ocelot-3
Momentum Ocelot-C
Momentum Ocelot-G
MyCable XXS1500
RBHMA4500
SNI RM200
Sibyte BCM91250A-SWARM
Wind River PPMC(New one, It'll be fixed)
Also the folowing boards don't have config file.
4G Systems MTX-1
AMD Alchemy Bosporus
AMD Alchemy Mirage
Jazz family
Toshiba TBTX49[23]7
These boards are candidate for removal.
If there are none objection, we can add to feature-removal-schedule.txt.

Some boards named here can hardly be considered old. :-)

This is the same board. I think it's too early to remove this. MV has a
number of patches for it BTW, only there was/is no time to push them upstream.

It's really too early to remove this one. MV is working on the new kernel.

Can you provide config file for TBTX49[23]7 ?
How about JMR-TX3927?

Maybe later -- I'M SWAMPED... :-(

Well, I've sent a patch for it last autumn but it looks like this is a
candidate for removal indeed. MV is not going to support that kernel anymore...

A little too much. Malta for example works and I'm running top of tree. Jazz is happy, SNI was doing ok and received a major upgrade just on the weekend and the Broadcom stuff - aside of slight bitrot is crucially important for many projects as the provider of horsepower for native builds.
My candidates for nuking are marked with a big red box in the wiki in the hope somebody will fix the code:

Many eval boards tend to have a short livespan unlike vintage workstation and server hardware, so I tend to be trigger happier for eval board type of stuff.

Indeed - if you kick out the Broadcom Swarm support, you would effectively kill the Debian/mips(el) build farm, which relies heavily on this type of system.

Ocelot G was on my to be grilled list as posted a while ago I think. I just created a wiki page for it, so it's now widely visible as death candidate.
I'd do the same for the EV64120 - but I know nothing about that board, I haven't heared of anybody trying to use, so it's a candidate as well.
Could anybody out there who knows enough to write a quick description of the EV64120 write a quick wiki page? Thanks :-)

Does that mean that MIPS, eventually, is doing like others arch for releasing ? If so does that mean that we can get a MIPS kernel from Linus tree without pulling from the (huge) mips repo ?

For some systems that is working since quite a while already. For some of the other platforms (Alchemy, Sibyte to name the biggest offenders) kernel.org won't have a chance of working until somebody rewrites the bloddy drivers for those things into something that actually can be merged.
