Support FreeBSD about vuls HOT 11 CLOSED

Would it be better to copy linux.go and re-format it for BSD and include the package check? Or just appended it to linux.go if def style? looking to fix this for fun today, just not sure the best way to go about it.

from vuls.

I think vuls can support many package distribution systems like yum/RPM, apt, and so on.

I want to add some pkg platforms like followings.
FreeBSD: pkg
OS-X: HomeBrew
and
pkgsrc (mainly used by NetBSD but can use Solaris/Linux/BSD/AIX...)

from vuls.

So maybe a new file specifically providing functions for package managers? I would start hacking away but i wan't to make sure my goals are aligned with the repo owners.

from vuls.

For example,.
HomeBrew can get installed package version using ' brew ls --versions '
FreeBSD/pkg system can get installed package version using ' pkg version ' or ' pkg info '
and shows package audit information using 'pkg audit -F' .

@justyntemme
Sorry for late reply. I am repo owner.

Current Structure is

• linux.go
  • redhat.go
  • debian.go

linux is a base struct. I was considered to define common functions of debian / redhat to linux. But now, common functions related linux archicture is none :)

So I am going to change the name of linux.go to something good name.
Please add freebsd.go under linux.go for now.

• linux.go
  • redhat.go
  • debian.go
  • freebsd.go

I don't know so much about FreeBSD and I don't have FreeBSD machine now.
The structure may be changed after your hacking or pull request :)

I have a little bit of experience in BSD. I spinning up a VM and will get to work. plan to go as described all in linux.go if things work as planned. Don't see any reason why it wouldn'tB.

Sorry for late reply.
I think linkx.go will rename to target_common.go, so looks clean of hierarchical structure.

sorry for my poor english.

from vuls.

I have renamed linux.go to target_common.go in my fork. Progress is slow but feature is on it's way.
