ROADMAP: Remove stale targets (landed PRs, image-spec, ocitools, etc.)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
# digest/hashing target

Most of this has spun off with [1], and I haven't heard of anyone
talking about verifying the on-disk filesystem in a while.  My
personal take is on-disk verification doesn't add much over serialized
verification unless you have a local attacker (or unreliable disk),
and you'll need some careful threat modeling if you want to do
anything productive about the local attacker case.  For some more
on-disk verification discussion, see the thread starting with [2].

# distributable-format target

This spun off with [1].

# lifecycle target

I think this is resolved since 7713efc (Add lifecycle for containers,
2015-10-22, opencontainers#231), which was committed on the same day as the ROADMAP
entry (4859f6d, Add initial roadmap, 2015-10-22, opencontainers#230).

# container-action target

Addressed by 7117ede (Expand on the definition of our ops,
2015-10-13, opencontainers#225), although there has been additional discussion in
a7a366b (Remove exec from required runtime functionalities,
2016-04-19, opencontainers#388) and 0430aaf1 (Split create and start, 2016-04-01,
opencontainers#384).

# validation and testing targets

Validation is partly covered by cdcabde (schema: JSON Schema and
validator for `config.json`, 2016-01-19, opencontainers#313) and subequent JSON
Schema work.  The remainder of these targets are handled by ocitools
[3].

# printable/compiled-spec target

The bulk of this was addressed by 4ee036f (*: printable documents,
2015-12-09, opencontainers#263).  Any remaining polishing of that workflow seems
like a GitHub-issue thing and not a ROADMAP thing.  And publishing
these to opencontainers.org certainly seems like it's outside the
scope of this repository (although I think that such publishing is a
good idea).

## 1.0

### Digest and Hashing

A bundle is designed to be moved between hosts.
Although OCI doesn't define a transport method we should have a cryptographic digest of the on-disk bundle that can be used to verify that a bundle is not corrupted and in an expected configuration.

### Define Container Lifecycle

Containers have a lifecycle and being able to identify and document the lifecycle of a container is very helpful for implementations of the spec.
The lifecycle events of a container also help identify areas to implement hooks that are portable across various implementations and platforms.

### Define Standard Container Actions (Target release: v0.3.0)

Define what type of actions a runtime can perform on a container without imposing hardships on authors of platforms that do not support advanced options.

*Owner:* duglin

### Container Definition

Define what a software container is and its attributes in a cross platform way.

### Printable/Compiled Spec

Regardless of how the spec is written, ensure that it is easy to read and follow for first time users.

Part of this is resolved. Produces an html & pdf.
Done
Would be nice to publish to the OCI web site as part of our release process.
