This repository contains the specs for [vac](https://vac.dev), a modular peer-to-peer messaging stack, with a focus on secure messaging. A detailed explanation of the vac and its design goals can be found [here](https://vac.dev/vac-overview).
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
The entire vac protocol is under active development, each specification has its own `status` which is reflected through the version number at the top of every document. We use [semver](https://semver.org/) to version these specifications.
|
|
|
|
## Protocols
|
|
|
|
These protocols define various components of the [vac](https://vac.dev) stack.
|
|
|
|
## Waku
|
|
|
|
Waku is a protocol that substitutes [EIP-627](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-627). Waku v2 is in development. Here you can read more about the [plan for it](https://vac.dev/waku-v2-plan) and an [update](https://vac.dev/waku-v2-update).
|
|
|
|
Waku is made up of several protocols and specifications. To see them go to the [Waku spec home](https://specs.vac.dev/specs/waku/).

|
### Data sync
|
|
|
|
- [mvds](./specs/mvds.md) - Data Synchronization protocol for unreliable transports.
|
|
- [remote log](./specs/remote-log.md) - Remote replication of local logs.
|
|
- [mvds metadata](./specs/mvds-metadata.md) - Metadata field for [MVDS](./specs/mvds.md) messages.
|
|
|
|
## Style guide
|
|
|
|
Sequence diagrams are generated using [Mscgen](http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/) like this: `mscgen -T png -i input.msc -o output.png`. Both the source and generated image should be in source control. For ease of readability, the generated image is embedded inside the main spec document.
|
|
The lifecycle of the specs follows the [COSS Lifecycle](https://rfc.unprotocols.org/spec:2/COSS/)
|
|
|
|
## Meta
|
|
|
|
The keywords “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt).

|
## Linting
|
|
|
|
### Spellcheck
|
|
|
|
To run the spellchecker locally, you must install [pyspelling](https://facelessuser.github.io/pyspelling/).
|
|
|
|
It can then be run with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
pyspelling -c .pyspelling.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Words that should be ignored or are unrecognized must be added to the [wordlist](./wordlist.txt).

### Markdown Verification
|
|
|
|
We use [remark](https://remark.js.org/) to verify our markdown. You can easily run this tool simply by using our `npm` package:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run lint
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Textlint
|
|
|
|
We use [textlint](https://textlint.github.io/) for extra markdown verification. You can easily run this tool simply by using our `npm` package:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run textlint
|
