Creation of kuksa-common - way forward

erikbosch commented 9 months ago

Background

We have said that we want to split this repo into multiple repos in eclipse-kuksa. As part of https://github.com/eclipse/kuksa.val/wiki/Proposal-for-splitting-of-KUKSA.val it is proposed to create a repo kuksa-common where data typically needed by multiple applications are stored. This issue intends to propose a way forward

Step 1: Copy files to new repo

VSS files to be copied to new repo, folder called vss-json
Databroker JWT copied to new repo, folder called jwt. This is based on the assumption that in the long run (> 3 years) we will either not have KUKSA Server any longer, or it should have migrated to the tokens currently used by Databroker
TLS related data in kuksa_certificates copied to new folder tls
Server JWT (except scripts) copied to folder jwt/server
JWT scripts copied to folder jwt
proto/kuksa copied to new folder proto/kuksa
kuksa_databroker/proto/sdv copied to new folder proto/sdv
kuksa-val-server/protos will not be moved/copied

Step 2: Remove files from kuksa.val and add kuksa-common as submodule

Remove all files copied
Add kuksa-common as submodule on top level.
Adapt build scripts to either use files from the submodule or alternatively use other mechanism like separate clone
Acceptance criteria: Tools works as before

Discussion points

We have previously discussed removing certs/tokens from default installations, but that seems like a lengthy process so maybe best to first just migrate everything
An alternative approach would be to just copy, not remove, and wait with migration until the corresponding components are migrated, but that will make migration somewhat more complex, then there is a risk that certs are just copied.
PR #676 mist first be merged/closed

FYI @SebastianSchildt - I think we should get the migration going, this seems like a reasonable first step but should better be discussed.

Kuksa-common created, no files removed yet, Proto files still here. I think this one can be closed
