rename component-descriptors inside the target OCI repository into: componentversions

[hilmarf]

What would you like to be added:

The ocm-cli is speaking from componentversions, e.g.

ocm transfer componentversions

But at the target OCI repository is then a folder component-descriptors been created. Why do we have this naming clash?

Why is this needed:

Are we transporting component-descriptors or componentversions? Or are componentversions transferred and turned automatically during transfer into component-descriptors? It's too confusing. Let's please keep things as simple as possible:

Create a new component version out of a component-constructor.yaml with:

ocm add componentversion --create --file ctf .\component-constructor.yaml

and then transfer it. There is no 'component-descriptor' involved.

Im only wondering if

ocm add componentversion --create --type ctf [--file] .\component-constructor.yaml

makes more sense?

Synopsis:
  ocm add componentversions [<options>] [--version <version>] [<ctf archive>] {<component-constructor.yaml>}

Flags:
  -F, --file string               target file/directory (default "transport-archive")
  -t, --type string               archive format (directory, tar, tgz) (default "directory")
  -O, --output string             output file for dry-run

On the other hand, the users likely got used to the name component-descriptors, which is how the folder is called for years. The name is probably mentioned on a number of documentation pages. I can imagine that renaming it would be confusing to existing users, i.e. is a kind of breaking change.

In our attempt to simplify things we should try to avoid creating even more chaos.

The issue is also that every componentversion is described by a, you guessed it, component-descriptor. So technically the old name is still valid :D

I vote to leave the existing syntax as it is integral to not introduce unnecessary breaking changes even if some of them are not 100% convenient for first time users
