Changing the file repos.yaml in lsstsw
changing the ups/lsst_distrib.table file

Since we've been talking about this, can you take a quick look at the pull request for this ticket?
It's just removing two packages, and adding one.
This has been tested on a Jenkins build and builds against py2.

Please don't remove packages from repos.yaml. That can lead to people being unable to build older versions of lsst_distrib. Update the URLs for those entries to point to the new location.

just so I'm clear, to be sure I'm doing this in the proper order, and fix the merge that shouldn't have done I should:

1) move lsst/ctrl_platform_gordon to lsst-dm/legacy_ctrl_platform_gordon
2) move lsst/ctrl_platform_lsst to lsst-dm/legacy_ctrl_platform_lsst
3) create a new branch for lsst/lsstsw (something like: tickets/DM-8667a)
4) add the following to lsst/lsstsw/etc/repos.yaml:

ctrl_platform_lsst: https://github.com/lsst-dm/legacy_ctrl_platform_lsst.git
ctrl_platform_gordon: https://github.com/lsst-dm/legacy_ctrl_platform_gordon.git

5) to a pull to trigger the PR and wait for it to go green
6) On GitHub, hit merge for lsstsw
7) merge the lsst/lsst_distrib branch tickets/DM-8667 with the two old packages removed, and the new package added.

Does that look right to you?

Perfect. And the reason this doesn't break Jenkins in the time between you moving the repo and changing repos.yaml is because Github handles redirects if a repo is moved.

I was wondering about that time gap. Thanks!
