rename "target" to "artifact" #92

Closed jku closed 1 year ago

jku commented 1 year ago

The issue is that TUF (spec and implementation) overloads the word target:

This is especially an issue in UI and code where target files are being handled. I think consistently calling them artifacts would alleviate the problem. This is also in-line with what rstuf (another repository implementation) does.

I support this. And the same suggestion has been made on the TUF spec issue tracker: https://github.com/theupdateframework/specification/issues/149#issuecomment-878436226

"artifact" is definitely the right word for this thing these days.
