[Buildroot] Fwd: [Nios2-dev] removal of uClinux-dist and u-boot gits from sopc server

[Ezequiel García]

Dear Buildroot,

I'm forwarding you an announce from the nios2-dev mailing list, which I think
you might find of interest.

Apparently they are moving away from uCLinux, and instead using Buildroot
and Yocto.

Therefore, I look forward to see the nios2 support in the November release!

Dear all,

As our network bandwidth is limited, we would like to remove some git
repo which are either deprecated or unnecessary.

The uClinux-dist, which was cloned from Blackfin uclinux, was
deprecated since 2012R2 as stated in Blackfin web site. Later blackfin
releases are based on Buildroot. There are few updates from blackfin,
and will be removed from our server. If you need update, please fetch
from remote "blackfin".

We will use buildroot and yocto for nios2 rootfs/kernel/toolchain
building in near future.

The u-boot git will be removed from our server, because nios2 support
is up-to-date in mainline u-boot and I am the custodian of nios2 arch.
Please fetch update from remove "denx".

Some very old branches in linux-2.6 git will be removed, too. I will
run git-gc to reduce the size.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Best regards,
Thomas Chou
