CC'ing the Tianocore stewards.
I've had problems getting a recent patch committed just to make edk2-libc work against current edk2 master.
Tianocore stewards: do we need new or additional maintainers for edk2-libc, or is there a plan to deprecate it?
The current maintainers are listed as: StdLib, StdLibPrivateInternalFiles W: https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/StdLib M: Daryl McDaniel <edk2-li...@mc2research.org> M: Jaben Carsey <jaben.car...@intel.com> -- Rebecca Cran On 7/28/21 4:25 PM, tim.le...@insyde.com wrote:
I would point out that there was significant work on libc in the past (see https://github.com/andreiw/UefiToolsPkg) but never any help to upstream these fixes, including making sure that many Linux tools can easily be ported. I myself have used it to port several BSD utilities over, but each time there will little nits with the existing port and even small patches were returned with "no current maintainer" In terms of making other projects use libc, I think the other objection was that it was never optimized for non-shell usage. Other projects (lie https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/CdePkg ) have tried to remedy this, but never with source checked in. But it allows support under PEI, DXE, etc. Tim -----Original Message----- From: devel@edk2.groups.io <devel@edk2.groups.io> On Behalf Of Rebecca Cran Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2021 8:34 AM To: devel@edk2.groups.io; maciej.rab...@linux.intel.com Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] "StdLibPkg" branch on edk2-staging Are you aware of the edk2-libc project at https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-libc ?
