Hello everyone, We made a list of old programmers that are candidates for being dropped in v2.0.0 (Jan 2027). The reason is that they work on old devices which only support old flashrom versions. The release this year, v1.8.0, will be the last to have all of the programmers. Starting from v2.0.0 next year, they planned to be dropped. The list of candidates: rayer_spi atavia atapromise nic3com gfxnvidia satasii nicrealtek nicnatsemi satamv drkaiser atahpt it8212 developerbox_spi Proposed commits to delete them can be all viewed by the tag "delete-prog-in-v2.0.0", the link: https://review.coreboot.org/q/topic:%22delete-prog-in-v2.0.0%22 Thanks so much to Abdelkader, he did all the work, and the research, and added details in each commit message! If you would like to keep one of the programmers on the list, you can send a rescue helicopter like this: 1) double-check which version of flashrom you plan to use this programmer, because they will only be deleted after v1.8.0. any version earlier than that will have all the programmers. 2) commit yourself to be a maintainer for this programmer. create a patch to add yourself to MAINTAINERS file for the programmer. The commitment is only to keep the programmer in working condition (no other duties) 3) after 2) there is time until the end of this year to verify the programmer works on the latest flashrom head. If you have any suggestions on the idea, or questions, now is the good time to say that. If the suggestion is to keep the programmer, the instructions for what to do are above. -- Anastasia.
