This repository would initially be used to host the following packages from the edk2 repository: * AppPkg * StdLib * StdLibPrivateInternalFiles These 3 packages provide support for the libc along with applications that depend on libc. None of the other packages in the edk2 repository use these packages, so these 3 package can be safely moved without any impacts to platform firmware builds. Build configurations that do use libc features can clone the edk2-apps repository and add it to PACKAGES_PATH. The history of these 3 packages would be preserved when importing the content into edk2-apps. After The import is verified, these 3 packages would be deleted from the edk2 repository. This proposal helps reduce the size of the edk2 repository and focuses edk2 repository on packages used to provide UEFI/PI conformant firmware. If there are no concerns with this proposal, I will enter a Tianocore BZs for the two steps. Best regards, Mike
