The ingestImages.py bin script provides a camera-agnostic manner of creating a data repository (including a registry). The back-end code resides in pipe_tasks under the name ingest.py, and the IngestTask._DefaultName = "ingest", which means that configuration files in obs packages are also named ingest.py. This choice of name was unfortunate, as it may be confused with ingest of sources into the database. DM-3439 proposes changing ingest.py to ingestImages.py to reduce confusion. Suggestions for better names are also welcome.
This will require coordinated changes to pipe_tasks, obs_subaru, obs_cfht and obs_decam.
