That's my plan. I'm giving a few days for comments, then I'm going to 
ask everyone to refrain from checkins while I do the reorg. Then I'll 
help developers adapt their sandboxes to the new structure.

I'm thinking of ditching the old changes and starting afresh. The 
history of cluster-tools and ci-linux as separate releases is not that 
interesting going forward.

Okay. I'll eliminate it.

In RPM-land, a .spec file provides instructions on how to build the 
binaries for a package, specifies dependencies on other packages, 
includes a description of what the package does, etc. Debian might use 
something different to build its own packages. I'm not sure what.

Not yet. I want to play with them first, make some comments, and see 
what needs to be changed in the documentation. We can cross this bridge 
after finishing the reorg.

BTW, Scott's change to add PXE support will help me do this. It's been 
awhile since I've used a test cluster that can do Etherboot, so I 
haven't even played with the original addnode for a long time. :(
