Subject: [RFC] Proposal to remove DuetPkg
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 05:27:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <734D49CCEBEEF84792F5B80ED585239D5BF0FF83@SHSMSX104.ccr.corp.intel.com> (raw)

All,
DuetPkg depends on Legacy BIOS to provide a UEFI environment. It was invented in the era when UEFI environment is hard to find. Since now UEFI is very popular in PC area, we could stop the official support of this package and remove it from the master.
Anyone who wants to use it still can just grab it from git history. This is the same as what we did for IPF contents.

If there is no concern by end of November, we will send out a formal patch to remove DuetPkg. (Since DuetPkg is big, we will not generate the huge patch using git command, instead we will just send out the patch mail with correct title/commit message but empty content.)

Thanks,
Ray
