Repository URI Proposals

Overview

• Repository URI Syntax: /URISyntax
  • This defines the core repository URI layout as follows:

    repository-uri = access-specifier "/" product-specifier "/" version-specifier "/" artifact-specifier

    It defines access-specifier and product-specifier, but leaves version-specifier and artifact-specifier opaque, to be defined by language, platform, or artifact-specific best practices.

• Common Build Version Specifier: /CommonBuildVersionSpecifier

  • This defines version-specifier for projects which perform formal and interim builds.

• Common Distribution Artifact Specifier: /CommonDistributionArtifactSpecifier

  • This defines artifact-specifier for source and binary distribution artifacts.

• Java Artifact Specifier: /JavaArtifacts

  • This defines artifact-specifier for java artifacts.

• Signature Artifact Specifier: /SignatureArtifactSpecifier

  • This defines artifact-specifier for pgp signatures/keys, MD5 and SHA checksum artifacts.

• License Artifact Specifier: /LicenseArtifactSpecifier

  • This defines artifact-specifier for license artifacts.

To do

• determine what additional support is required for C/C++ projects. Common Distribution Artifact Specifier aims to handle binary and source distributions for these projects - what else is required?
• move common BNF somewhere else. E.g:
  • versioned-artifact-name artifact-name short-version debug arc-ext are contained in both Java Artifact and Common Distribution Artifact Specifiers.
