Descriptor: do not implement Describable interface
Commit cb6f002350 implemented a generic
Manifest interface to represent manifests in the registry and remove
references to schema specific manifests.

As part of this refactor, the Describable interface was introduced,
which allowed for a single ManifestBuilder interface to handle both
schema1 and schema2 manifests. Implementations of Describable are
generally objects which can be described, not simply descriptors, but
for convenience, this interface was also implemented on Descriptor in
2ff77c00ba.

This interface served its purpose, but no longer needed for most cases;
schema2 (and OCI) descriptors do not need this method, making it only
needed for `schema1.Reference`, which is now deprecated.

Requiring this interface to be implemented limits interoperability
between distribution's Descriptor and the OCI Descriptor types, which
are identical in every other way, except for the presence of the
Describable interface.

This patch:

- Removes the `Descriptor.Descriptor()` method (no longer implementing
  the `Describable` interface).
- Updates ManifestBuilder interface and implementations to accept either
- Updates ManifestBuilder interface and implementations to accept a
  `Descriptor`.

After this patch, the caller is responsible for changing a describable
type into a descriptor;

    builder.AppendReference(describable.Descriptor())

The toolset to pack, ship, store, and deliver content.

This repository's main product is the Open Source Registry implementation for storing and distributing container images and other content using the OCI Distribution Specification. The goal of this project is to provide a simple, secure, and scalable base for building a large scale registry solution or running a simple private registry. It is a core library for many registry operators including Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, GitLab Container Registry and DigitalOcean Container Registry, as well as the CNCF Harbor Project, and VMware Harbor Registry.

This repository contains the following components:

Component Description
registry An implementation of the OCI Distribution Specification.
libraries A rich set of libraries for interacting with distribution components. Please see godoc for details. Note: The interfaces for these libraries are unstable.
documentation Full documentation is available at https://distribution.github.io/distribution.

How does this integrate with Docker, containerd, and other OCI client?

Clients implement against the OCI specification and communicate with the registry using HTTP. This project contains a client implementation which is currently in use by Docker, however, it is deprecated for the implementation in containerd and will not support new features.

What are the long term goals of the Distribution project?

The Distribution project has the further long term goal of providing a secure tool chain for distributing content. The specifications, APIs and tools should be as useful with Docker as they are without.

Our goal is to design a professional grade and extensible content distribution system that allow users to:

  • Enjoy an efficient, secured and reliable way to store, manage, package and exchange content
  • Hack/roll their own on top of healthy open-source components
  • Implement their own home made solution through good specs, and solid extensions mechanism.

Contribution

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how to contribute issues, fixes, and patches to this project. If you are contributing code, see the instructions for building a development environment.

Communication

For async communication and long running discussions please use issues and pull requests on the github repo. This will be the best place to discuss design and implementation.

For sync communication we have a #distribution channel in the CNCF Slack that everyone is welcome to join and chat about development.
