Package: u-boot
Version: 2016.11+dfsg1-3
Severity: wishlist

Debian introduced OpenRD images and later removed them because the
stopped working (see #837629).

A fix has now been posted upstream:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2017-February/282676.html

I would like to kindly request that the OpenRD images be restored
for stretch.  The reasons are:

 * stretch will be the last release to include support for the armel
   architecture, so it would be good to get support for this device
   as complete as possible.
 * While Debian can be installed with the default u-boot shipped on
   the OpenRD, the one provided by Debian is much more modern.

On the other hand, there are few OpenRD users, so this is not high
priority.

I haven't spoken to the release team but in the past they have been
supportive towards changes for hardware support.

Rick Thomas has offered to test on the OpenRD Ultimate and (I believe)
Client.
