> Hello All,

> During the work I am doing to clean up the build of upcoming 3.3, I am going
> to move[1] dbscripts directory from:
>     backend/manager/dbscripts
> to:
>     packaging/dbscripts
> 
> The packaging directory is a new directory established for files we copy
> as-is to installation media, dbscripts was the last remaining directory of
> that nature. dbscripts does not really belong to the java sources nor to
> required for java project build (except few validation that were kept).
> 
> The packaging directory has the following advantages:
> 
> 1. Simplify the build system to blindly copy files recursively from packaging
> to installation media.
> 
> 2. Do not copy unnecessary files as we copy today, example is pom.xml.
> 
> 3. Allow easy split plain files within packaging directory to sub packages in
> future.
> 
> 4. Easier to understand the target system file layout by browsing the
> packaging directory, no magic of renaming or on the fly creation.
> 
> 5. A clear separation between the maven build and the packaging build.
