From c7bbef40234c80672e6dccaafbc352b4aeb78413 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Alex=20Benn=C3=A9e?= Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2024 16:38:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: mark CRIS support as deprecated MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This might be premature but while streamlining the avocado tests I realised the only tests we have are "check-tcg" ones. The ageing fedora-cris-cross image works well enough for developers but can't be used in CI as we need supported build platforms to build QEMU. Does this mean the writing is on the wall for this architecture? Cc: Rabin Vincent Reviewed-by: Thomas Huth Acked-by: Edgar E.
