'screen' MACHINE_FEATURE

'screen' MACHINE_FEATURE

[Ash Charles]

Hi,

Based on the yocto manual [1], it looks like "screen" is a valid
MACHINE_FEATURE and, in fact, it looks like some machines actually
call out this feature.  That said, I can't actually see that this
MACHINE_FEATURE is used.  I checked with buildhistory and some
grepping but maybe I missed something?
Should I be keeping this in my machines or is the deprecated?

Thanks for any insight,
--Ash

It seems to be deprecated, looking back in history shows 
task-base-screen which is included in older releases has been empty, 
although that allows BSPs to override it, but since it's not even 
included in newer versions.

See: ca8f7ecca7c19933ffcf1a9f080a39a84318ebb4

git log -p (great option).

Sau!

Thanks very much Saul (and thanks for the git tips).

I'll pull this MACHINE_FEATURE from my machines.
