Repository Cleanup Summary

Date: August 17, 2025
Status: ✅ COMPLETED
Goal: Align repository structure with 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 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

📊 Before vs After Comparison

Before (Scattered Structure)

• Test files scattered across root directory
• Scripts mixed in root and various subdirectories
• Large test images in root directory
• Inconsistent directory naming
• Missing standard FMF structure

After (Organized Structure)

• All test files consolidated in test/ directory
• Scripts organized by function in scripts/ subdirectories
• Test artifacts properly organized
• Standard FMF testing framework
• Clean root directory with logical organization
