[Commotion-dev] Repository Cleanup

[Josh King]

Hi all,

As the Commotion project has grown, we've added a large number of
different components and repositories, especially on the OpenWRT side.
In many cases, these were created and added in without any particular
conventions around repository naming, package naming, or package
classification. As I discovered when doing final release integration for
DR2, this has made our OpenWRT build-tree something of a confusing mess.
In the run-up to version 1 at the end of the year, and as part of our
continued migration of our project management to Github, I am currently
engaged in cleaning up and refactoring most of our OpenWRT-related
repositories. Some projects will be consolidated, others will be
renamed, and still others will be split. Unfortunately, there is no easy
way to do this without at least temporarily breaking builds; I will try
and finish up all the cleanup this afternoon/evening, so hopefully any
disruption should be relatively minor. I'll detail the complete cleanup
on the list and in a blog post once things are up and running again.
This should hopefully make building and contributing to the firmware
somewhat less confusing in the future. Thanks for your patience!
