Subject: RFC: powerpc: remove GEMINI support?
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 00:49:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061124234935.GJ28363@stusta.de> (raw)
I just saw the commit message below.
There seems to have been some although unmerged work on APUS support by
Roman, but I didn't find any recent work on bringing the GEMINI support
back into life.
Is this a wrong impression, or would a patch to remove it be OK?

[PATCH] ppc32: Mark boards that don't build as BROKEN
Marked APUS and GEMINI as BROKEN since they do not build at the platform
level. We have requested that the maintainers of these boards/platforms
fix them by the time 2.6.15 is released or we plan on concerning them
unmaintained and thus removing them.
