Description Darren Hart 2012-11-13 18:44:40 UTC

Most of the *-standard.scc BSP descriptions include a common block like the following:

	include cfg/usb-mass-storage.scc
	include cfg/boot-live.scc
	include features/latencytop/latencytop.scc
	include features/profiling/profiling.scc

Most of these (with the possible exception of usb-mass-storage) seem like they should just be in standard.scc, rather than peppered across all the BSPs.

I could see that some of these might not apply to all architectures, if that is the case, perhaps an ARCH-standard.scc feature is called for and we can include the relevant one for every BSP, still greatly reducing the duplication and avoiding update errors when that common set changes.

Moving to M4, to coincide with the release candidate kernel.

Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2013-04-15 17:13:13 UTC

Most of this was completed for 1.4, but some BSPs remain. Bumping to 1.5 for the remainder cleanup
which will happen early in the cycle.

Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2013-10-09 00:28:38 UTC

Sadly, this has to be bumped again. But there's a big audit that is planned for the 1.6 cycle and kernel, so common blocks can be identified then and these
factored out.

Comment 4 Bruce Ashfield 2014-04-08 19:41:53 UTC

Moving to 1.7 as part of a kernel meta-data update and developer experience change.

Note: some of this was done in 1.6, but not enough to call complete.

Comment 5 Bruce Ashfield 2016-07-27 17:32:06 UTC

Closing this and keeping bug: 1989 to track the configuration factoring and shuffling.
