Should we not also provide some hints how a user (which eventually
limited experience in git) can actually find such information?

I would appreciate if we could provide examples at least for the
trivial case where is is looking for some specific board(s) well
known to him; maybe also for searching for things like removal of a
specific CPU (say, PPC405GP) or CPU falimy.


And instead of removing the  scripts/fill_scrapyard.py  script,
should we not rather modify it to generate a list of (all) removed
boards - that would be really helpful, I think ?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

hoping  they'll  live  long  enough  to see an easing of the entrance
requirements. Never appeal to a man's "better nature." he  might  not
have one.
