Subject: LzmaCustomDecompressLib and PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode
Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2016 17:16:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAF7UmSyKx-L0C24JaRSdnRAzDFPYoY6n8TFiv1GP6HEeCV5fCw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

Digging through the tree, I spotted we have duplicate instances of the
above - one set in MdeModulePkg/Library/ and one in
IntelFrameworkModulePkg.

Looking though the log, I found the commit message explaining the situation:
---
MdeModulePkg: Add two library instances

    Copy below two library instances from IntelFrameworkModulePkg to
MdeModulePkg. Then, Platform dsc can
    refer to them from MdeModulePkg, and remove the dependency of
IntelFrameworkModulePkg. The ones in
    IntelFrameworkModulePkg are still kept for compatibility.
    1. PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode
    2. LzmaCustomDecompressLib
---

Even in the main tree, both versions of these are used.

Diffing the clones, 1) has diverged, with 8f77081 going into
MdeModulePkg and d5cbc27 into IntelFrameworkModulePkg. The
functionality is identical, but the code is not.

Can we re-evaluate the need to keep the "compatibility" copy around,
to reduce risk of further diversion?

Regards,

Leif
