-This directory contains libraries (planned for extraction to gems) for the following:
-
-* interfacing with various clouds and infrastructure providers
-  * gems/pending/Amazon
-  * gems/pending/openstack
-  * gems/pending/VMwareWebService
-    * Client and broker server for connecting to the VMware Virtual
-      Infrastructure Management (VIM) API/Framework
-* VM scanning
-  * gems/pending/disk
-  * gems/pending/fs
-  * gems/pending/metadata
-  * gems/pending/VixDiskLib
-    * Ruby bindings to the VIX Disk API for connecting to the VMware virtual
-      disks remotely
-* standalone utility libraries
-  * gems/pending/util
-    * Typically, utility libraries that are NOT tied to Rails are put here. The
-      benefit is that most of the code automatically loads many of the libraries
-      here, so if you want to add a new Exception class, for example, look in
-      miq-exception.rb, and Rails code will automatically find it.
-  * gems/pending/util/extensions
-    * Extensions for Ruby core classes.  Note that extensions to Rails core live
-      in vmdb/lib/extensions.
