Re: [microblaze-uclinux] [PATCH] microblaze: remove obsolete platforms

[John Williams <john.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your comments.  It seems to be SVN->git conversion month -
everyone is doing it, glibc just last week as well.

I agree generally with your comments - the issue we have to resolve
before we can make such a move is actually an internal one - most of
our commercial projects are performed on copies of the petalinux
subtree, in a large SVN repository.  We are not ready to migrate all
of our internal infrastructure to git, which would be required were
petalinux also to make that move.

But, Michal for one is constantly hassling me to do the switch, so I
can expect some change probably in the coming months.

Regards,

John
