Project digest #1

Closed khoroshevskyi closed 1 year ago

khoroshevskyi commented 2 years ago

Should we add project digest to the database, so we won't have same projects in our database?

nleroy917 commented 2 years ago

I don't think having duplicate projects in the database is a problem. If two namespaces want to have two identical projects that might diverge eventually, that seems ok. Something like forking a PEP.

still, the idea of project digest is a good one, for other reasons. Like, for reproducibility. a pipeline can say, here's a digest of the input data I ran. Now, it's registered.

Then, you can make pephub be able to look up a project by digest.

I like it.

I have added first version of digest to the pepagent, but I think this functionality has to be in peppy, so everyone can generate it.
