7`.repo-metadata-full.json` contains metadata about the packages in this repo. It
8is generated by `internal/gapicgen/generator`. It's processed by external tools
9to build lists of all of the packages.

11Don't make breaking changes to the format without consulting with the external
12tools.

14One day, we may want to create individual `.repo-metadata.json` files next to
15each package, which is the pattern followed by some other languages. External
16tools would then talk to pkg.go.dev or some other service to get the overall
17list of packages and use the `.repo-metadata.json` files to get the additional
18metadata required. For now, `.repo-metadata-full.json` includes everything.

20### Updating OwlBot SHA
21
22You may want to manually update the which version of the post-processor will be
23used -- to do this you need to update the SHA in the OwlBot lock file.
24
25See the [postprocessor/README](postprocessor/README.md) for detailed
26instructions.

28*Note*: OwlBot will eventually open a pull request to update this value if it
29discovers a new version of the container.
