consider aligning with github.com/containers

[cgwalters]

This is just a first quick glance at your code.

• It looks like you have a reimplementation of a subset of our oci_spec crate here https://github.com/anuvu/puzzlefs/blob/master/oci/src/lib.rs
• I have some oci directory code that I've been meaning to make into a crate and would be happy to consider sharing as a crate for the non-spec bits of that code

Then bigger picture, we also have https://github.com/containers/composefs - per the kernel discussion thread we could also try to build a comparison doc and see if there's any common ideas or code we could share. (I actually want to try to argue to do some composefs tooling in Rust)

Thanks @cgwalters, I didn't know about the oci_spec crate, I'll look into how it could be integrated into puzzlefs, and also into your oci directory code.
I'm also curious whether puzzlefs could be moved into the containers organization.

[ariel-miculas]

@cgwalters do you want to setup a separate repo with your oci directory code? I think that would be a good starting point

[cgwalters]

Eventually yeah...

[ariel-miculas]

@cgwalters I see the oci directory code is now in its own crate, I'll look into it and see if I can use it in PuzzleFS.

[cgwalters]

Yep, though also interested in that bigger picture scoped discussion about composefs vs puzzlefs at some point

[ariel-miculas]

@cgwalters I'll be at LPC next week, any chance you're also coming?

[ariel-miculas]

With the integration of the PuzzleFS image into the OCI spec, my latest PR and my contributions to ocidir-rs, PuzzleFS now uses ocidir-rs extensively, so I'm quite happy we manged to align and work towards our common goals, @cgwalters !

Of course, the work doesn't end here, but I'm closing this issue and I'll open another issue/discussion for the bigger picture composefs vs puzzlefs conversation.
