Thanks, Geert. > > Hmm, I wonder why you'd be in such a rush to remove my pet project... ;-) > The last time I tried it worked; unfortunately I have since been taken This was my way of reasoning here: 1) I would like to make a massive cleanup in the arch/mips/mips-boards for the reasons explained here: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2008-01/msg00136.html 2) Removing Atlas would reduce the clean-up effort. 3) According to Ralf, the user base for Atlas is zero, the board itself is buggy. 4) History knows of an attempt to remove Atlas: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2007-06/msg00153.html 5) Nobody is losing, man-hours are saved. No explanation of why not to do that. Hence, the patch to the feature-removal-schedule.txt. > away my second serial port that I used as a terminal device for the Atlas > lying next to me and the first port I have in continuous use.

It would be nice if you could take a look at that (please see the "P.S." part): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=84c21e254205ecac98f75b01589996440c6a6db0 > > Maciej >
