Proposal is to create a separate repository to cover Artifact Distribution.
Accounts for: Artifact registry support #65

The new repository would explain:

  • how distribution is used to store additional types.
  • guidance to registry owners for how to parse artifact types
  • guidance to artifact authors for how manifests and index are used to define new types

With artifacts defined here, the distribution spec can be updated to remove references to images, making it more about storing index and manifest references to layers.

Proposed repository name:
artifact-spec

My bad; I thought a request for a new repo was an issue, so directed @SteveLasker to do an issue first.

I might have given the wrong suggestion as well, but looking at the other proposals, this would fit there too.

I think this would replace #57 and I don't think we should refer to as a spec as that has versioning implications that wouldn't apply here. We can discuss in the call, but maybe manifest-types or manifest-artifacts such that the scope of the repo is listing the known media types used by manifests and the relationship/structure of the artifacts which use them.
