#56108: mipsel-linux-uclib: delete ports
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: mojca | Owner: mojca
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: mipsel-linux-binutils mipsel-linux-
| gcc34 mipsel-linux-kernel-headers mipsel-linux-
| uclib mipsel-linux-uclib-headers
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
The ports for mipsel-linux-uclib:
* mipsel-linux-binutils
* mipsel-linux-gcc34
* mipsel-linux-kernel-headers
* mipsel-linux-uclib
* mipsel-linux-uclib-headers
have last been updated 12 years ago (ignoring cosmetic fixes), we had two
bug reports (which I understand as if the ports were mostly useless, but I
may be wrong), the last one four years ago (#38135, #43988). Homepage that
some of the ports point to no longer exist (http://mipsel-linux-
binutils.sourceforge.net/). The buildbot-generated packages from 2016
apparently still exist though, so maybe some of those ports are still able
to build, but that doesn't change the perspective too much.
Unless someone knows the purpose of these ports and is willing to update
them, I see no reason to keep shipping gcc 3.4 etc. Building mipsel-linux-
uclib with the crossbinutils PortGroup alone worked, but I have no clue if
the result is usable.
Should anyone know the reason for not deleting these ports, please speak
now.
