<p>The com-liferay-petra repository was the subrepository corresponding
to the <a href="https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/tree/master/modules/apps/petra">modules/apps/petra</a>
folder in the monorepository. The specific modules within that folder
came from the ongoing attempt at modularizing
<code>com.liferay.util.java</code>, as David mentioned, and <code>com.liferay.portal.kernel</code>.</p>
<p>Subrepositories were originally intended to allow for all of the
different .lpkg files that make up a Liferay release to be released on
separate schedules (essentially, each folder in
<code>modules/apps</code> is its own .lpkg). The idea is that
component teams would commit to the subrepositories (each one managed
by one of Liferay's separate teams), and the monorepository would be a
central reference point for a release.</p>
<p>Most subrepositories, including com-liferay-petra, were discontinued
and no longer kept up to date on the master branch (missing a
<code>.gitrepo</code> file) due to some directory reshuffling that
happened prior to the Liferay 7.1 release.</p>
<p>On the master branch, only two are still maintained: the
subrepositories corresponding to <a href="https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/modules/apps/analytics">modules/apps/analytics</a>
(<code>.gitrepo</code> is in push mode) and <a href="https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/modules/apps/apio-architect">modules/apps/apio-architect</a>
(<code>.gitrepo</code> is in pull mode). On the 7.0.x branch, many of
the other subrepositories are still maintained in push mode.</p></body></html>Minhchau Dang2018-07-17T01:08:29ZRE: What is the purpose of the repository com.liferay.petraDavid H Nebingerhttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1105740432018-07-17T00:08:11Z2018-07-17T00:08:11Z<p>util-java cannot be added to your OSGi dependencies. The petra
modules break out parts of util-java into separate OSGi-friendly
module jars.</p>David H Nebinger2018-07-17T00:08:11ZWhat is the purpose of the repository com.liferay.petraDenis Cucchiettihttps://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=1105718992018-07-16T15:21:59Z2018-07-16T15:21:59Z<p>Hi,</p>
