Hi Santosh

The design calls for additional systemd services and applications (not  
necessarily additional git repositories).  Can the new applications and  
systemd services be hosted in the existing openpower-vpd-parser  
repository?  We have an awful lot of repos as it is and these new  
applications seem like a good fit to go with the existing ones in  
openpower-vpd-parser.

I’m envisioning a repository that supports parsing a number of different  
fru data formats.  Support for the different formats can be turned on or  
off with meson options or autoconf options.   The specifics of how the code  
would be organized within the build process for openpower-vpd-parser I’d  
leave to you and the current openpower-vpd-parser maintainer (Deepak).

We could rename the repository and/or recipe to something more general if  
it is just the name that is off-putting.  Open to suggestions there - how  
about phosphor-fru-parser or just fru-parser or vpd-parser?

thx - brad
