Automate table sync between repos
There are csv tables spread over many repos. There should be one source of truth (multicodec/table.csv), and repos should pull it from there.
@jbenet @diasdavid how does this sound:
Instead of replicating the table into all kinds of places, we put it on ipfs and behind a well-known name, e.g. /ipns/multicodec.io. We can then use standard ipfs pages tooling to keep it updated.
I'm not very happy about committing the table into $n repos, we already have that bubbling-up-updates-pain with both gx and npm. I know it's largely a tooling issue, but the best tooling is the one which I don't need :)
@lgierth sounds good, although, for Node.js land, it is simpler to just publish it as a module of npm and use it as a dependency. I can see the value for all the other languages, though.
Agree that updating all the tables everywhere is prone to bugs and cumbersome.
