Creation of kuksa-common - way forward

[erikbosch]

Background

We have said that we want to split this repo into multiple repos in eclipse-kuksa. As part of https://github.com/eclipse/kuksa.val/wiki/Proposal-for-splitting-of-KUKSA.val it is proposed to create a repo kuksa-common where data typically needed by multiple applications are stored. This issue intends to propose a way forward

Step 1: Copy files to new repo

• VSS files to be copied to new repo, folder called vss-json
• Databroker JWT copied to new repo, folder called jwt. This is based on the assumption that in the long run (> 3 years) we will either not have KUKSA Server any longer, or it should have migrated to the tokens currently used by Databroker
• TLS related data in kuksa_certificates copied to new folder tls
• Server JWT (except scripts) copied to folder jwt/server
• JWT scripts copied to folder jwt
• proto/kuksa copied to new folder proto/kuksa
• kuksa_databroker/proto/sdv copied to new folder proto/sdv
• kuksa-val-server/protos will not be moved/copied

Step 2: Remove files from kuksa.val and add kuksa-common as submodule

• Remove all files copied
• Add kuksa-common as submodule on top level.
• Adapt build scripts to either use files from the submodule or alternatively use other mechanism like separate clone
• Acceptance criteria: Tools works as before

Discussion points

• We have previously discussed removing certs/tokens from default installations, but that seems like a lengthy process so maybe best to first just migrate everything
• An alternative approach would be to just copy, not remove, and wait with migration until the corresponding components are migrated, but that will make migration somewhat more complex, then there is a risk that certs are just copied.
• PR createToken.py: Allow specification of the JWT key file and output file #676 mist first be merged/closed

FYI @SebastianSchildt - I think we should get the migration going, this seems like a reasonable first step but should better be discussed.

Kuksa-common created, no files removed yet, Proto files still here. I think this one can be closed
