Hi Sakar, Apologies for lag. What follows are my thoughts, not really discussed with Andrew/Mike.

No, this was one of the original ideas, but we decided on using a completely separate structure and utilise PACKAGES_PATH to link the repositories together for building. On the one hand, I see no reason to change the minnowboard UDK branch, the one branch that will have a strict layout is edk2-platforms/master. Others will probably align to a similar layout for expedience, as time progresses. > Or, will it be the similar to platform specific part of the > directory structure proposed in > https://github.com/mdkinney/edk2/tree/NewDirStruct_V3 ? That would be my view, yes. Clearly this would simplify migrating new platforms to edk2/master when desired.. > Or, similar to https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git/tree? > Or, left to platform developers' discretion? I originally envisioned something more like OpenPlatformPkg (well, I would, wouldn't I). But one of the things we clarified during discussions at the recent plugfest was that device drivers, for devices usable across multiple platforms, belong in edk2/master. So once NewDirStruct happens, I'm likely to start migrating the standalone drivers from OpenPlatformPkg into there.
