[netmod] Schema Mount

[Michal Vaško <[e-mail]>]

Hello,
I wanted to implement this RFC [1] but I have great difficulty understanding how exactly it should work so I would like to ask for some clarification.

As for the ietf-yang-library data, they are mentioned several times but I could find no details as to how exactly they should look like. There is an example [2], which has only 'ietf-yang-library:modules-state' data tree that is deprecated. Am I to understand that is what is expected?

Another thing, there are 3 ways mentioned [3] as to when to specify the schema (YANG modules) for the mounted data and that only 2nd and 3rd are covered in the RFC. However, I was not able to find anything more about the 2nd option (implementation-time) and think that everything concerns only the 3rd option (run-time).

Lastly, I was also looking at another RFC [4] and its examples. There I could see 'ietf-yang-library:yang-library' data tree instead meaning every 'module-set' and corresponding 'schema' need to be referenced by some 'datastore'. The consequence would be that one must know the datastore of the data before they can be parsed, is that right? Moreover, for parsing one would also need the 'ietf-yang-schema-mount:schema-mounts' data (which are found in the operation data in the example) but where should the NETCONF/RESTCONF server (for instance) get them?

Thanks for any clarification.

Regards,
Michal
