[ovirt-devel] New git repositories ovirt-engine-api-model, ovirt-engine-api-metamodel and ovirt-engine-api-explorer

[Juan Hernández]

Hello,

As part of the changes of the engine REST API for 4.0 two now components
have been introduced:

- The API model. This is the specification of the API, and it is
currently part of the engine repository, in the
backend/manager/modules/restapi/model directory.

- The API metamodel. This is a set of tools that read the model and
generate different artifacts from it, like the XML schema, the the
JAX-RS interfaces, etc. It is also currently part of the engine
repository, in the backend/manager/modules/restapi/metamodel.

In order to support multiple versions of the specification inside the
same engine the API model needs to be separated to a different git
repository, its releases managed independently of the engine, and the
artifacts uploaded to Maven central.

The metamodel also needs to be separated to a different repository, and
have its own relase cycle, and the artifacts uploaded to Maven central,
as they will be required by the engine and by the generators of the SDKs.

Thus I'm requesting the creation of two new git repositories in
gerrit.ovirt.org to hold these components:

  ovirt-engine-api-model
  ovirt-engine-api-metamodel

In addition version 4.0 will also include a web application used to
explore the automatically generated reference documentation. This
application is currently hosted here:

  https://github.com/jhernand/ovirt-api-explorer

But I think it should be hosted in gerrit.ovirt.org, thus I'm also
requesting the creation of another git repository:

  ovirt-engine-api-explorer

All in call, can you please create these three git repositories and add
me as maintainer, please?

Thanks in advance,
Juan Hernandez
