[RFC] vino: deprecate and remove

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I propose that this driver is deprecated and moved to staging and that
1-2 kernel cycles later this driver is removed.

The reason for this is that this is ancient hardware and it hasn't seen any
development in ages and no apparent users. It hasn't been tested with actual
hardware in many, many years.

To update it it would need to be converted to the control framework and vb2,
but without any hardware that's going to be impossible.

In my view it is time to retire this driver. The lack of hardware and users
and the fact that it uses deprecated APIs makes it a good candidate to removal.

Regards,

	Hans
