● build ● host● lib● system● vmdb

Project Directory Structure

● Community Build files● Intimately tied to the codebase

● Need to figure out how to move this

Project build Directory

● ManageIQ SmartProxy

● Being used to run PowerShell scripts on Windows● Alternative Solution using winrm gem

● To be removed

Project host Directory

● Lots of (mostly) standalone libraries - each in its own subdirectory

● Gemify!

Project lib Directory

VM Analysis (Fleecing) PresentationTomorrow

● System files that get layed down with the creation of appliance

● Needs to be analyzed in conjunction with the build directory

● Should build and system directories be moved to a new repo (manageiq_appliance)?

Project system Directory

Ruby 2.x PresentationRails 4.x Presentation

● Rails application

● Should be root of ManageIQ/manageiq repo○ Once build, host, lib, system are moved out

● Will make it easier for Rails developers to get started● Will make it easier for Rails tools to work in a standard way
