Hi dear Openstack-Helmers,

I would like to suggest merging the two project git repos:

At some point it seemed reasonable to have separate git repos for openstack and infrastructure charts. But now it looks like we are experiencing more cons than pros. When working on some features we are forced to prepare sets of interdependent patches. Some code can be deduplicated. Also when we publish charts we append two commit hashes as package metadata. Also we can reduce the number of test jobs if we have all chats in one repo. 

 

Other people also proposed this earlier. So if there are no objections let's make it done.

I understand this is going to affect many of our users. Please express your opinions so we don't break any downstream. If we all agree about this, then I would say we can do this in the mid of March/2025 before 2025.2 PTG.

The procedure is going to be smth. like

1. Freeze the infra repo and prepare retirement PSs for it

2. Merge openstack-helm-infra repo into openstack-helm

```

git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm.git

cd openstack-helm

git remote add infra https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm-infra.git

git fetch infra

git checkout -b infra infra/master

git checkout master

git merge --allow-unrelated-histories infra

# resolve not so many conflicts

git review

```

3. Accept merger PS

4. Update documentation

5. Accept infra retirement PSs (openstack-helm-infra and project-config)
