Pending a final green sanity result, the tentative restructure day will be Sept 4 (tomorrow).

Please freeze ALL code submissions, starting at 1 pm UTC on Sept 4, until further notice.

I'll be running a repo split tool. It will generate more than a dozen code reviews that will ALL have to be merged before we can unfreeze the code for general updates.

After everything has merged, you'll need to ...

1) If you are working on code that has not been relocated (refer to spreadsheet [3]) then 'repo sync --force-sync' be sufficient.  Before doing that, be sure to save your work as a commit on a private working branch.

2) If your working on code that has been relocated,  Then your best bet is to start with a fresh 'repo init' into a new working directory.  Use 'git format-patch' or 'diff' to capture your work, and apply the patch at the new location.   Some surgery to path names may be required.

The layered build feature is getting ready for its initial required changes [1] [2]. 

The first phase is a restructuring of the StarlingX git repos to enable layered builds in the next phase.  In light of new package additions in the last few weeks, there has been a few modifications and additions to the spreadsheet [3] documenting all the intended moves.  Edits are in blue text.  The intent is that all package relocations will be history preserving.

We plan to implement the git restructuring on the week of September 3-6.

My initial ask of the StarlingX community is that we temporarily freeze the addition of any new packages while we make a final test run.  This means that any updates that touch a centos_pkgs_dir file should not receive a WF+1 until the relocation is complete.  After the relocation, you may need to re-issue your code review.  

Thanks for your co-operation.
