Re: [edk2-devel] Removal of VS2015 (and maybe VS2017) and deprecated toolchains (GCC48, GCC49, GCC5)

["Michael D Kinney via groups.io" <michael.d.kinney=intel.com@groups.io>]

I also see many references to VS2015, VS2017, and GCC5 in the edk2 repo
outside of toolsdef.

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atianocore%2Fedk2+VS2015&type=code
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atianocore%2Fedk2+VS2017&type=code
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atianocore%2Fedk2+GCC5&type=code

These should be addressed in an independent set of PRs before removing
the toolchains from toolsdef.

The UefiPayloadPkg comments suggest you should discuss with those
Maintainers to make sure the validation has moved to newer tool chains.

Similar searches should be performed on all other TianoCore repos and
updated as needed.

Mike
