Hello Trey, this change wrt to OVAL checks and RHEL/6, RHEL/7, and Fedora/ products have been implemented now (see my reply in the other thread. The corresponding change for remediations to come yet).
But wanted to double-check yet another point - would the decommission / replacement of symbolic links mechanism sufficient for your developer environment, or would also other changes be desired? To speak more exactly, the current Makefiles use more tools (like xmllint, xmlwf), which might be Unix specific (not available natively on other platforms). Can you clarify which tools are you utilizing when developing SSG content on Microsoft Windows systems? Are the tools like MinGW and / or Cygwin required to be able to develop SSG content on Microsoft Windows? Asking just to know if we should amend the Makefiles code to be platform aware - IOW it to start using solely only tools / commands available on that platform natively without the need to install additional ones. If there would be further interest for this (hopefully) sometime in the future we could explore what could be done to make the developer's life on other platforms easier too.
