TAP 15 (succinct hashed bin delegations) implementation
Description of issue or feature request:
TAP 15 was created on June 23-rd 2020 and was last modified in July 6-th 2020.
Since then the TAP has been put to draft status meaning it needs a prototype implementation before it's accepted as a future specification change.
Given that this TAP underlines an efficient way of handling hash bin delegations, meaning it would be really useful when python-tuf is integrated into Warehouse, it's logical that we should not only create a prototype but directly work to integrate it in python-tuf.
The result I am expecting from this issue is:
- Support reading, updating, and saving target metadata files that are using
succinct hashed bin delegations. - An exemplary document inside
examples/showcasing howsuccinct hashed bin delegationscan be utilized in practice.
I have come up with the following steps:
- [x] Add and update the necessary attributes to support reading and writing from/to a target file with
succinct hashed bin delegations - [x] Add simple testing for target files using
succinct hashed bin delegations. - [x] Make sure the client parses the succinct hash bin delegated metadata
- [x] Test that the client parses the succinct hash bin delegated metadata and visits the expected bin for a specific target
- [x] Test actually downloading a target
- [x] Add a script inside
examples/ - [x] Testing the
examples/script
This is exactly what I had in mind for this issue! Plus, the client also needs to be able to parse and interpret the new metadata, in order to find the correct bin for a target.

Agree, added it to the TODO list.
After #2031 and #2038 are merged I think we are ready to close this issue. I don't see any other todo items left.
