Hi Mike,

Yes, Abner and I had discussed this before. RedfishLib brings some difficulty to maintain because it is private library in two separated repositories.

 

Before we go and remove it, we like to make sure that no one is using it. @Igor Kulchytskyy, if my memory serves me well, you mentioned that AMI is using RedfishLib. Is it ok for us to remove RedfishLib in RedfishCientPkg (not RedfishPkg)?

 

Thanks,

Nickle
