Long term vision between ORMB and ORAS

We may migrate to https://github.com/oras-project/oras-py in the near future

Hey @gaocegege :) What's the status regarding the migration of the ORMB python sdk to oras-py? There doesn't seem to be any available resource for that since you opened oras-project/oras-py#84. I may give a hand on the python side if that's the only blocker (I already re-implemented the ORMB python sdk on my side to use subprocess.run and raise/propagate go errors to python).

But before that, I was wondering what is the vision between ORMB and ORAS? I don't know the details but I feel like there is a big overlap between the two. I would like to know on which one I can rely on a long term perspective, are they both going to be maintained in the future?

Cheers

Personally, I prefer using the https://github.com/oras-project/oras-py but the project does not have the ETA. Thus I am not sure about it. WDYT, do you prefer the ormb python SDK?

You mean ORAS go client? oras-project/oras-py is still empty so I can't say 😄 (only using ORMB python sdk)

Thus I think we should keep the ORMB python SDK now. I am not sure when the oras SDK is ready.
