cggmp24 development

[survived]

This is the branch in which we will work on updating implementation to the latest revision of CGGMP paper.

Note that cggmp24/m is protected branch, as well as m it requires a PR for any modification.

Upgrade plan:

1. Merge paillier-zk repo into the cggmp repo
2. Develop new ZK proofs needed for cggmp24
3. Update the cggmp implementation
4. Write migration guidelines
5. Rename repo into cggmp24
6. Release new library under cggmp24 name
7. Legacy cggmp21 will get its own cggmp21/m protected branch reserved for security patches

@maurges does the plan looks okay?

[maurges]

Sounds reasonable. We can even do the moving of zk-proofs here before starting to work on cggmp24.

I'm not sure we want to rename just the repo. I think the old repo name should stay in some form (didn't we have enough problems with branches disappearing, imagine a whole repo). Maybe we could rename the repo and make a fork under the old name, and immediately archive it

I don't anticipate any problems, as github will be redirecting old urls, so even if we have git dependencies (I don't think we do), they will get resolved with new url automatically

github will be redirecting old urls

It's not guaranteed it will do, it even says so when you rename a repo

But it does it, e.g. https://github.com/LFDT-Lockness/slip-10 still redirects to the new repo.

The new release is going to be a breaking change, so it's okay even if git deps get broken

[maurges]

It does redirect, but it's not guaranteed that it will do and do it forever

The new release is going to be a breaking change, so it's okay even if git deps get broken

That's why I'm saying we should put an old version on the old URL

I see. Yes it would be nice, but I want the repo name to reflect the crate name, and I don't want to keep the old one just to keep projects who use cggmp21 as git dependency intact.
