Research direction

No repository files or tests are identified. Start by reviewing the distribution table and its download URLs and tools, then determine how the listed binary distributions will be covered; done means providing SBOMs for the targeted ASF application distributions, expanding beyond the initial list.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

sbom

The purpose of this issue is to provide SBOMs for all ASF binary distributions, starting with those that:

  • contain executable applications,
  • bundle all or most of their dependencies.

These are IMHO the most critical distributions, since users can not easily upgrade vulnerable dependencies without a new release.

The following table contains a list of binary application distributions of various Apache TLPs.
Currently only 10% of the TLPs are included:
