Good Morning Everyone,
Nowadays we have different structures in the git repositories of the dist-git instance for CBS and for CentOS-Stream.
CBS' dist-git (used by the SIG and for CentOS Linux 7, CentOS-Stream 8), uses something like: ├── .gitignore ├── .kernel.metadata ├── SOURCES │ ├─ .... │ ├── patch-5.14.0-redhat.patch │ ├─ ... │ └── x509.genkey.rhel └── SPECS └── kernel.spec
Ie: patches and other sources in a SOURCES folder, spec in a SPECS folder and the link between the git repo and the lookaside cache is done via the `.<packagename>.metadata` file.

On CentOS-Stream 9, the structure is similar to Fedora's structure where everything is in the top directory. source: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gitlab.com_redhat_cento...
I was wondering if there has been some thoughts given on harmonizing these structures? I am particularly interested on changing them for SIG building on the top of CS9. It would make pulling changes from gitlab onto the SIG's repo a lot easier I believe. I suspect there may be some work to do for this and if I'm pointed to the right direction, I wouldn't mind having a look at it but first I'd like to know if it's a good idea :)
So... what do you think?
Thanks, Pierre

Consistency always makes me happy.
I'm not the person who'd be doing the work, but I'd gladly buy them a drink.
