Re: [PATCH 00/36] Remove UCLINUX from LTP

Hi!

My 2 cents. I'm working on refactoring growfiles test which uses UCLINUX flag. During its development I had occasion to check UCLINUX support and (indeed) it seems pretty broken for LTP, because nobody is maintaining it for a while and such tests use old API that will be replaced in any case sooner or later. I agree with other people about removing it, unless there's
a valid reason to keep it.
Just in case we want to keep it, someone should take care about UCLINUX support, testing LTP releases for it as well, but it doesn't seem like something we can do inside the LTP devs team due to the lack of resources.

Regards,
Andrea

I am not sure I agree with this series.
Removing support for UCLINUX from LTP is almost a guarantee for
not noticing when more breakage is introduced.

How exactly is UCLINUX broken in LTP?
As far as we know noone is using it and nobody is maintaing it for a
decade,
Nobody is maintaining "uclinux" because that was a distro, but you can build
nommu support in buildroot and such, and people do.
