Pardon, I mean this should be a public repository. Does it belong in the existing platform2 repository somewhere?

Are you asking for a git repo to be created? 
Please confirm the exact name to be used. 

I just chatted with the infra team, and they need to know two things:

1. Will the repository's initial content be from a snapshot, or will it have history pushed into it from another repository?
2. What should it be called? The thought is to put it in third_party, but we need a name beyond that. Maybe atrusctl? We might want a name with broader scope, but that might also be overkill.

Katie, could you please answer the infra teams questions?

Do we want one repository for each firmware updater, or all firmware
updaters in one repository?

The firmware updater itself is a generic tool, unlike the ChromeOS firmware updater which has the firmware update bundled with it. One repository should be enough, and then the firmware itself will come from the mirror.

We do know that there's no history to preserve, so now we just need confirmation on the name.

I chatted with Katie, and she said she was fine with the suggested name, but that we should ask Mike to make sure we're following convention, etc. We're thinking third_party/atrusctl. Could you please confirm that that follows whatever rules there might be?

if it's going to be public, then i think chromiumos/third_party/atrusctl/ is OK.  if it's private, then we'd want chromeos/vendor/atrusctl/.  the comments say "public", but the bug summary says "private", so i'm a bit lost.

if it's going to be open source, it's kind of weird that we'd own/host it.  shouldn't the vendor in question be owning it ?  it's pretty trivial to set things up on github.  or is it something we contracted for and it is something we now own ?

The title was wrong, and has been corrected.

My understanding is that the vendor wrote this utility specifically for ChromeOS, and that Google recently purchased them. I originally set things up as if they'd own it externally, but they want to develop it as part of ChromeOS.

chromiumos/third_party/atrusctl/ sounds fine then

would be great that we could start it with a BSD-Google license so there's no confusion in the history

sounds good, vapier

+bhthompson - can you assist please?

Repo now exists https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/chromiumos/third_party/atrusctl

It needs to be added to the manifests to begin use, it was created with an initial empty commit, if force push permissions are desired to nuke that out and replace it with an alternate git history please let me know.

FWIW if the Chromium OS repos are the upstream source here, this is Chromium OS specific code, and the authors are soon to be Chromium project members and want it to be a Chromium component and not a Github project, I would have probably put this in platform or platform2.

Since we have this repository now, I'll mark this as closed.
