# Repository Cleanup Summary

**Date**: August 17, 2025  
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETED**  
**Goal**: Align repository structure with [osbuild/bootc-image-builder](https://github.com/osbuild/bootc-image-builder)

---

## 🎯 **Cleanup Objectives**

The goal was to reorganize the repository to match the standard structure used by the original [osbuild/bootc-image-builder](https://github.com/osbuild/bootc-image-builder) repository, improving maintainability and contributor experience.

---

## ✅ **Completed Cleanup Actions**

### **1. Script Organization**
- **Created structured script directories**:
  - `scripts/build-scripts/` - Build and compilation scripts
  - `scripts/integration-scripts/` - Integration and testing scripts  
  - `scripts/test-scripts/` - Test execution scripts
  - `scripts/test-files/` - Test-related files

- **Moved scripts to appropriate locations**:
  - Test scripts → `scripts/test-scripts/`
  - Build scripts → `scripts/build-scripts/`
  - Integration scripts → `scripts/integration-scripts/`
  - Performance scripts → `scripts/build-scripts/`

### **2. Test File Consolidation**
- **Consolidated test directories**:
  - Merged `tests/` into `test/` (standard location)
  - Moved test integration results to `test/integration-test-results/`
  - Moved test images to `test/test-images/`
  - Moved pytest configuration to `test/`

- **Organized test structure**:
  - `test/unit/` - Unit tests
  - `test/integration/` - Integration tests
  - `test/performance/` - Performance tests
  - `test/test-images/` - Test artifacts

### **3. FMF Testing Framework Setup**
- **Enhanced `.fmf/` directory**:
  - Updated version to 2.0 (standard)
  - Created `plans/`, `stories/`, `features/` subdirectories
  - Added proper FMF configuration

### **4. File Relocation**
- **Moved large files**:
  - Test images → `test/test-images/`
  - Integration results → `test/integration-test-results/`
  - Package requirements → `devel/`

- **Cleaned root directory**:
  - Removed scattered test files
  - Organized build scripts
  - Consolidated documentation
