| 1 | +## Semver Veneer: |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Since a `veneer` is identified as an input schema which may be processed to generate a valid FBC, we can define a `semver veneer` as a schema which uses channel conventions to facilitate the auto-generation of channels along `semver` delimiters. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +[**DISCLAIMER:** since version build metadata [MUST be ignored when determining version precedence](https://semver.org) when using semver, it cannot be used in any bundle included in the `semver veneer` and will result in a fatal error.] |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### Schema Goals |
| 8 | +The `semver veneer` must have: |
| 9 | +- terse grammar to minimize creation/maintenance effort |
| 10 | +- deterministic output |
| 11 | +- simple channel promotion for maturing bundles |
| 12 | +- demonstration of a common type of channel maturity model |
| 13 | +- minor-version (Y-stream), major-version (X-stream) versioning optionality |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The resulting FBC must clearly indicate how generated channels relate to veneer entities |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### Schema Anatomy |
| 18 | +For convenience and simplicity, this veneer currently supports hard-coded channel names `Candidate`, `Fast`, and `Stable`, in order of increasing channel stability. We leverage this relationship to calculate the default channel for the package. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +`GenerateMajorChannels` and `GenerateMinorChannels` dictate whether this veneer will generate X-stream or Y-stream channels (attributes can be set independently). If omitted, only minor (Y-stream) channels will be generated. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Under each channel are a list of bundle image references which contribute to that channel. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +With the following (hypothetical) example we define a mock bundle which has 11 versions, represented across each of the channel types: |
| 25 | +```yaml |
| 26 | +Schema: olm.semver |
| 27 | +GenerateMajorChannels: true |
| 28 | +GenerateMinorChannels: true |
| 29 | +Candidate: |
| 30 | + Bundles: |
| 31 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.1.0 |
| 32 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.1.1 |
| 33 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.1.2 |
| 34 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.1.3 |
| 35 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.2.0 |
| 36 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.2.1 |
| 37 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.2.2 |
| 38 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.3.0 |
| 39 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v1.0.0 |
| 40 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v1.0.1 |
| 41 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v1.1.0 |
| 42 | +Fast: |
| 43 | + Bundles: |
| 44 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.2.1 |
| 45 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.2.2 |
| 46 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v0.3.0 |
| 47 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v1.0.1 |
| 48 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v1.1.0 |
| 49 | +Stable: |
| 50 | + Bundles: |
| 51 | + - Image: quay.io/foo/olm:testoperator.v1.0.1 |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | +In this example, `Candidate` has the entire version range of bundles, `Fast` has a mix of older and more-recent versions, and `Stable` channel only has a single published entry. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### CLI Tool Usage |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | +% ./bin/opm alpha render-veneer semver -h |
| 58 | +Generate a file-based catalog from a single 'semver veneer' file |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Usage: |
| 61 | + opm alpha render-veneer semver <filename> [flags] |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Flags: |
| 64 | + -h, --help help for semver |
| 65 | + -o, --output string Output format (json|yaml|mermaid) (default "json") |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Global Flags: |
| 68 | + --skip-tls-verify skip TLS certificate verification for container image registries while pulling bundles |
| 69 | + --use-http use plain HTTP for container image registries while pulling bundles |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | +With the veneer attribute `GenerateMajorChannels: true` resulting major channels from the command are (skipping the rendered bundle image output): |
| 72 | +```yaml |
| 73 | +--- |

| 132 | +name: stable-v1 |
| 133 | +package: testoperator |
| 134 | +schema: olm.channel |
| 135 | +``` |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +We generated a channel for each veneer channel entity corresponding to each of the 0.\#.\#, 1.\#.\# major version ranges with skips to the head of the highest semver in a channel. We also generated a replaces edge to traverse across minor version transitions within each major channel. Finally, we generated an `olm.package` object, setting as default the most-stable channel head we created. This process will prefer `Stable` channel over `Fast`, over `Candidate` and then a higher bundle version over a lower version. |
| 138 | +(Please note that the naming of the generated channels indicates the digits of significance for that channel. For example, `fast-v1` is a decomposed channel of the `fast` type which contains only major versions of contributing bundles matching `v1`.) |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +For contrast, with the veneer attribute `GenerateMinorChannels: true` and running the command again (again skipping rendered bundle image output) we get a bunch more channels: |

| 231 | +Here, a channel is generated for each veneer channel which differs by minor version, and each channel has a `replaces` edge from the predecessor channel to the next-lesser minor bundle version. Please note that at no time do we transgress across major-version boundaries with the channels, to be consistent with [the semver convention](https://semver.org/) for major versions, where the purpose is to make incompatible API changes. |
