Repackage spring-cloud-kubernetes-configserver so that it can also be used as a dependency

[tspoeri]

I am trying to add security to the spring-cloud-kubernetes-configserver, and the only way I see is to fork the project and add the necessary changes like dependencies and configuration.

It would be great if the spring-cloud-kubernetes-configserver was packaged in a way that it can be either directly launched as a service (the way it is today) or that it can also be used as a dependency for a custom built config server with enhanced functionality (similar to the spring-cloud-config-server on which it is based).

There seems to be a simple solution that only involves changing the classifier in the repackage goal of the build script that would allow both usages, as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40089443

I’d like to help because we’ll need this as well. However, I’m not entirely sure how to proceed. Could you please point me to a guideline or provide some instructions?

@pepanek would love some help! If you form the project make the changes and submit a PR we can go from there

Alright, could you please add me to the project in github so I have the permissions to push a branch?

You just need to fork the project and that way you can push branches to your own fork
