extend kubernetes-client to openshift-client

[debianmaster]

i would like to extend this k8s library to openshift which has additional objects like Route DeploymentConfig etc can you please guide me the steps that would be involved ?

@debianmaster created a PR that has a rough outline for adding support to this code base for new "API groups": https://github.com/godaddy/kubernetes-client/pull/106/files#diff-6a3371457528722a734f3c51d9238c13R33

I notice https://github.com/debianmaster/openshift-client -- cool! I think we should be able to expose the right interface from kubernetes-client so that openshift-client can depend on kubernetes-client (instead of forking it). Would you be interested in trying that approach?

[debianmaster]

@silasbw definitely ! i dont want to re-invent wheel. I think we should be able to expose the right interface from kubernetes-client so that openshift-client can depend on kubernetes-client i think this is the ideal way. lets chat more on the PR you created.

@debianmaster check out https://github.com/silasbw/openshift-client-scratch. Does that seem like a good approach?

Tests are the main thing missing -- we can pull https://github.com/godaddy/kubernetes-client/blob/master/test/common.js out into a module (e.g., kubernetes-client-test) so other packages can re-use it.

@silasbw sorry the late reply. in travel right now. but i will check and get back in a day.

Seems like we have a path forward with https://github.com/debianmaster/openshift-client, so I'm going to close this issue. Feel free to re-open if we need more discussion.
