Subject: Reminder for deleting 3 network drivers in MdeModulePkg
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 08:11:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B1FF2E9001CE9041BD10B825821D5BC58B678368@SHSMSX103.ccr.corp.intel.com> (raw)

Hi, All

This email is a reminder for the patch series "Delete TCP, PXE, iSCSI driver in MdeModulePkg" https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2018-October/031605.html, which *intend to delete 3 network drivers from edk2 repository*. Please help to review this email and also the patch series to provide your feedback before this weekend.

Below is a driver list which we want to *delete* from edk2 master, because these drivers have not been actively maintained for a long time, and can't co-work with the dual-stack drivers in NetworkPkg.
               MdeModulePkg/Universal/Network/Tcp4Dxe       (will be deleted)
               MdeModulePkg/Universal/Network/UefiPxeBcDxe      (will be deleted)
               MdeModulePkg/Universal/Network/IScsiDxe      (will be deleted)

Below drivers in NetworkPkg contains all the functionalities compared with the MdeModulePkg version, with more bug fixes and more new feature added:
NetworkPkg/TcpDxe/TcpDxe.inf
NetworkPkg/UefiPxeBcDxe/UefiPxeBcDxe.inf
NetworkPkg/IScsiDxe/IScsiDxe.inf

People who want to continue use these deleted drivers could go to edk2/UDK2018 branch to get them, but it's *highly not recommended*.

*If you have any opposition on deleting these drivers, please let me know before this weekend, thanks.*
