FLOP:CPE tagger
Funtoo Linux Optimization Proposal: CPE tagger
By introducing Plugin Oriented Programming we can create a plugin which tags funtoo meta-repo ebuilds with CPE tag. By using proper design, this can be integrated with https://code.funtoo.org/bitbucket/users/drobbins/repos/funtoo-metatools/browse
CVEs, CPEs, WTFs
It's good to know which packages in metarepo have some security vulnerabilities (CVEs). In order to have a reliable linkage CPEs can be used. Here is an example that shows why using CPEs is useful: https://nvd.nist.gov/products/cpe/search/results?namingFormat=2.3&keyword=openssh
Steps:
1. Create a JSON representation of meta-repo: https://code.funtoo.org/bitbucket/users/mrl5/repos/metarepo-to-json/browse
1.1. Store it as JSON files: https://github.com/mrl5/metarepo-cpe-tag/issues/1
1.2. Store it in mongodb: https://github.com/mrl5/metarepo-cpe-tag/issues/2
2. Create a reliable CPE tagger:
2.1. https://github.com/mrl5/metarepo-cpe-tag/issues/5
2.2. https://github.com/mrl5/metarepo-cpe-tag/issues/6
3. Handle updates:
3.1. https://github.com/mrl5/metarepo-cpe-tag/issues/3
3.2. https://github.com/mrl5/metarepo-cpe-tag/issues/4
