eCos maintainers
There are currently 4 eCos packages in the repository with no
corresponding package record in ecos.db:
CYGPKG_HAL_OPENRISC at hal/openrisc/arch
CYGPKG_HAL_OPENRISC_ORP at hal/openrisc/orp
CYGPKG_DEVS_FLASH_OPENRISC_ORP at devs/flash/openrisc/orp
CYGPKG_DEVS_FLASH_SST_39VF400 at devs/flash/sst/39vf400
Such orphan packages will not be present in the forthcoming release, but
does anyone have a good reason to keep any of them in the repository at
all? If these packages might be useful to someone then they should each
have a corresponding package record in ecos.db which includes details of
their status. Otherwise, even regular eCos users may not be aware of
their existence. If no-one cares about these packages, I suggest we
remove them from the repository for reasons of consistency.
