Finalize name and format for manifest #11

Open zkat opened 4 years ago

This is an important cross-cutting concern with the Entropic server and we really need to have this hashed out and finalized before we can really commit to a lot of things.

Naming-wise, I'm okay with Entropic.toml.

Re: the format, we should discuss in our next video meeting so we're all on the same page, then one of us can take a stab at writing a proposal (or editing our existing RFC), to be reviewed/edited in a PR to entropic-dev/entropic's RFCs dir?

(drive-by comment follows; I did not check to see if this had been considered)

some of us with case-insensitive filesystems find any sort of capitalization in a filename to be a source of pain when such a file is under version control. if the name needs to change for whatever reason (e.g. somebody manually created entropic.toml).

if you choose to go with capital-E, this isn’t the end of the world, but the client should be able recognize small-e in case someone on apfs/ntfs created it and someone on ext4 needs to consume it. this would hopefully avoid the need to commit a change to the file’s capitalization.
