Greetings,
I wanted to propose a change to the current structure in place for
shared checks (shared/oval) and fixes (shared/fixes/bash). I was curious
to get everyone’s opinion before committing.
So the problem I see is with the symbolic linking of checks and fixes to
the shared folder. I have found it problematic when working between
different operating systems, file systems, and version control systems.
Rather than creating symbolic links to certain oval checks in the
shared/oval folder, we could choose to just process all oval checks in
both the project’s checks folder and the shared/oval folder.
However, not all checks in the current ‘shared/oval’ folder are shared
by all OS. For example, there are some that only apply to RHEL7 and
Fedora, and not RHEL6.
Any thoughts?
I propose
* to remove symlinks
* to amend build process to look into shared directory if fix/check is
missing in current directory
That should be the easiest path that enables flexibility and lower maint
costs going forward.
