Cosmos-sdk: SDK Module Manager & Registry

[fedekunze]

Summary

Create a cargo-like version for modules in a module.yaml file. The file in a module can be pushed to a source/website that indexes the module and allows users to query the module. Just like crate.io!

Problem Definition

• Metadata for modules
• build dependencies

Proposal

[package]
name = "module"
version = "0.36.0"
authors = ["Name Lastname <[email protected]>"]
license = "MIT/Apache-2.0"
description = "a module description"
homepage = "..."
repository = "..."
keywords = []
readme = "README.md"
module-dependencies = ["staking", "slashing", "distribution", "auth"]

Seems like the solution proposed by @mircea-c was to add go.mod files on each module ? cc: @jackzampolin

[alexanderbez]

@fedekunze this is _not_ the solution. Having a go.mod in each module only is applicable in the context of us having a separate repo just for modules where we version each specific module. Even still, these are orthogonal issues.

Fission Labs will be applying for this as an outside grant.

@alexanderbez is Atlas close enough to close this issue?

[alexanderbez]

Yeah we can close this. I've already published x/bank 0.39.1 and will publish 0.39.2 later. I've started on x/auth too. Would be nice to get help from other folks to publish other modules.

[hxrts]

I'll encourage people as much as possible. Would also like to writing into ICF service contracts.
