Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] Add "source" command; prepare removal of "autoscr" command

Dear Detlev,

in message m2d4byf2xm.fsf@ohwell.denx.de you wrote:

...

• autoscr, 2, 0, do_source,
• "DEPRECATED - see 'source' command",
• "DEPRECATED - see 'source' command"

Most U-Boot user's are more likely to see this than the feature-removal-schedule.txt in the source code.

Good idea, indeed.

Actually I also like that, but if we head down this direction, then why not go all the way and print a warning on executing autoscr? Thinking about it (and reflecting on how I interact with U-Boot), I fear that even the help message will not get too much attention from people who should get aware of the problem.

What do other people think about this?

That's an even better idea. I will implement both in the next version of the patch.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
