Thanks. Like with lots of other recent changes the general purpose is |
| 21 |
to remove long unused features of Catalyst in order to make the code |
| 22 |
base more maintainable and understandable. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
In this case specifically, I'm removing support for various file |
| 25 |
systems from the embedded target (a target for producing images for |
| 26 |
embedded systems, as far as I understand) and for ISOs. For ISOs, |
| 27 |
squashfs is great and everyone uses it -- it provides better |
| 28 |
performance from a CD than the alternatives like zisofs, normal, or |
| 29 |
noloop. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
For embedded, it's unclear whether the target is used at all. There |
| 32 |
are some very old specs in releng.git that use 'rel_type: embedded', |
| 33 |
but I'm not sure if the target is used at all these days. To that end, |
| 34 |
I've asked in #gentoo-embedded if anyone uses it. I've removed what I |
| 35 |
believe to be the file system options that don't provide any value, |
| 36 |
leaving jffs2 for now. |
