yes, I am ok with that, maybe this repo could serve also as incubator for modularity related tools that would come handy in the future

Hi Nick,

the basic aim this repo was to help users with some automation.
Like generating containers and even OpenShift templates from modules.

I guess, If we drop it, it will be missing in future. Like for newbie folks, it is beneficial, like how does it look like Dockerfile, and OpenShift template. Why they should read a bunch of documentation and spend a lot of time with stuff which "maybe" will not be needed.
We should provide some "templates" for these kind of thinks.

OK, so if folks wanted to add those back (perhaps using the original modtools name), it would probably make sense to do that.

They were taken out of fedmod in order to give that a more clearly defined purpose, which is to help manage the transition from a non-modular to a modular distro, which means converting metapackages and yum group lists to modules, rather than deriving other artifacts from modules.

As far as how to do that, what I'd suggest is that we make a commit that reverts all the changes since https://pagure.io/modularity/modularity-tools/c/a0b277a9c909d143cbadcf18384c02392de6aee3?branch=master (restoring the repo to the modtools-with-pipenv state), and then add back a "For fedmod, see the fedmod repo" comment to the README.

This is how I would like to see purpose of fedmod, nothing more.

OK, I've reverted all the fedmod changes and added a note in the README referring to the fedmod repo:

• https://pagure.io/modularity/modularity-tools/c/6274eb6094f1ca40e40ea6ea5baab12d7f490bd3?branch=master
• https://pagure.io/modularity/modularity-tools/c/5c7d12636cd45fe4d8dbd09732e9921975a0ff23?branch=master

I'll leave this repo alone now, and make all my changes solely to the fedmod repo.
