Obsolete files in 2.6 tree

Obsolete files in 2.6 tree

[Jiri Slaby]

Are these files obsolete and could be deleted from tree.
Does anybody use them? Could anybody compile them?

The above are used by (at least) the PAS16 SCSI driver.  The PAS16 is
a 16-bit ISA soundcard that, in its "studio" incarnation, has a slow-
speed (intended for the CD-ROM drives of the time) SCSI interface based
on the NCR 5380.  As I recall, the Linux driver operated in polled mode
only: no interrupt handling capability.  That deficiency was never
corrected while I was a user of that card, and I quit using the card
somewhere in the 2.2 kernel version timeframe.

I think, that this driver uses g_NCR5380.c and g_NCR5380.h, doesn't it?

I think skeleton.* files are there as examples, not for real use. Sure,
they should be checked that they are up to date and fixed as required.

OSS is obsolete, so this could probably be axed when/if it finally is deleted.

These still work, but are meant to be used by other drivers and not
standalone. There's a few users of this that haven't been merged yet
anyways.

grep include pas16.c | grep NCR5380
produces...

#include "NCR5380.h"

This one is partly obsolete and partly a work in progress. It's not
referenced from Kconfig at the moment, but will later in time.

	It seems that nobody are interested on maintaining it. No answer from

	I think it may be removed.

And what about entire befs? Is it used?

Well, don't know about anyone else, but I certainly don't use it
anymore. If anyone needs  a fully-functional befs driver, the easiest
route to that would probably be getting Haiku's befs driver to compile
in userland as a FUSE fs.

At any rate, attribute.c can go. It is easy enough to add back in if
anyone ever wants to do the (relativly minor) refactoring nessisary to
get it working.

That has already been done:

  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fuse/mountlo-i386-0.1.tar.gz

All is needed is a working FUSE installation, and the above binary, to
be able to mount any filesystem image/partition.

I think you mis-understand. Mountlo seems to allow one to mount
(through FUSE) any filesystem image for which there is a linux kernel
kernel driver available. This is a very nice capability.

But what I speak of is to port the 100% feature-complete (and
well-tested) befs driver from the Haiku project's kernel to the FUSE

to the linux kernel vfs interface. Among other reasons for this, parts
of Haiku's kernel (including their befs driver) are written in c++.
