+# History of Apache Yetus
+
+## Precommit
+
+The origins of the project start with a single Hudson job, long lost to the
mists of time. The
+purpose was to run a few basic tests against the Apache Hadoop source tree so
that developers
+would not have to re-run common tests before trying to merge a commit.
Eventually this
+Hudson job would get turned into a shell script that sat in the Apache
Hadoop's source
+repository so that anyone could run it without trying to tie up Hudson.
+
+As Hadoop's needs increased and as the "Big Data" projects grew in the Apache
Software
+Foundation, `test-patch.sh` was getting copied from Hadoop into these other
repos.
+Time passed and all of these copies diverged.
+
+In 2015, the Apache Hadoop project did a major rewrite (HADOOP-11746) to take
advantage
+of new tooling and to deal with the heavy burden of testing a very large code
base.
+Other projects took note and it was felt that it was time to combine
everyone's efforts
+into a single project, using the new Apache Hadoop code as the starting point.
+
+Thus, Apache Yetus was born.
+
+## Other Parts
+
+While splitting off the patch testing facilities, it was thought that other
portions that
+were equally useful and in some cases followed a similar path should also be
copied into
+the Apache Yetus repository. When it came time to split from Apache Hadoop,
the
+`audience-annotations`, `releasedocmaker`, and `shelldocs` portions were also
copied over.
+
+# Old Source
+
+Due to coming from Apache Hadoop, the source repository history is extremely
messy. The
+project underwent many major changes that make following changes much more
difficult,
+including splitting the project into multiple different repos, svn->git source
migration,
+and changing the build tooling from `ant` to `maven`. As a result, the first
commit
+in the repository history is not actually the first commit. In order to
provide a
+clearer picture, the `prehistory` repository tag documents the code changes
that
+happened to the `test-patch.sh` script prior to the first commit in the `main`
branch.
