Description

I could not find documentation for library developers.

contexts

I am a maintainer of esp-idf components at https://github.com/UncleRus/esp-idf-lib.

once @pedrominatel said espressif would help us but i've gotten none so far.

https://github.com/UncleRus/esp-idf-lib/issues/260#issuecomment-977882894

I am trying to understand how the component registry works, and evaluate how it is useful for us.

what I need to know

• how the registry works; the registration process, quality assurance (if any), verification of ownership, acceptable use policy, name space policy, etc.
• technical details: how to publish beta, snapshot, and releases, reference manual of metadata, integrity checks (SHA sum, or cryptographic signatures)

To Reproduce

Expected behaviour

espressif provides documentation for library developers.
