replace "component-spec" language bindings w/ OCM-Lib
ccwienk opened this issue · comments
Context / Motivation
component-cli was deprecated (superseded by ocm-cli and removed from gardener-cicd (pipeline template and all pipelines) as part of cleanup and consolidation activity.
component-cli as well as testmachinery uses golang bindings from component-spec repository for retrieving and deserialising OCM-Component-Descriptors. Said language-bindings were also superseded by a re-implementation (in golang) in ocm-repository.
The re-implemented ocm-lib supports handling of different versions of component-descriptors w/ a stable API (which is promised to be kept stable also for future spec-versions of OCM; there are already two spec-versions: v2 and v3 (gardener-cicd currently uses v2).
Adopting the re-implemented ocm-lib in testmachinery will allow us to archive the (currently unmaintained) "component-spec"-language-bindings and (hopefully) reduce related maintenance efforts in the future.
Implementation Proposal
Remove dependencies from testmachinery towards https://github.com/gardener/component-spec, and port it to using ocm-lib instead.
