Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 00/10] Proposals of deprecation/removal, mainly affecting toolchain
Quoted 4 lines · Thomas Petazzoni
Hello,
This set of patches proposes a certain number of deprecation or removal. They are mostly independent from each other:
Hi, let's see each point.

- Deprecation of the AVR32 architecture.
+1 from me, it's a dead-end and i've been (not secretly) hoping for this.
Quoted 5 lines
- Removal of old binutils versions
- Removal of uClibc 0.9.32.1
- Removal of gcc 4.3.x and 4.6.x
- Removal of gdb 7.4 and 7.5
- Removal of busybox version selection
All of these should follow the deprecation guidelines i think? Busybox in particular should keep at least a previous version around, because there have been cases of .0 releases being quite broken. Maybe patches show up soon but they don't follow a release schedule like we do and there could be problems with that.
Also punching a hole in gcc version continuity even though logical sounds dirty (and really they aren't stopping any features other than missing atomics in old versions).
Regards.
