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?
Thanks!
