+1 (binding)
I checked in Daffodil:
[OK] release page has correct information, links, and documentation
[OK] hashes and signatures of source and helper binaries are correct
[OK] source and helper binaries are 100% reproducible
- All artifacts are identical except for CycloneDX SBOMs due to component
ordering. Verified the files are semantically equivalent and submitted a
fix to sbt-sbom to address this in future releases.
[OK] signature of git tag verifies
[OK] source release matches git tag (minus KEYS file)
[OK] source compiles and all tests pass (both en_US and de_DE)
[OK] src, binaries, and jars include correct LICENSE/NOTICE
[OK] RAT check passes, no unexpected binaries in source
[OK] rpm and msi install and run with basic usage
[OK] regression suite of public and private DFDL projects pass tests
[OK] no issues found in JavaDoc
[OK] no open CVEs found using sbt dependencyCheck
- One false positive
[OK] Daffodil NiFi processor builds and tests pass with minor updates
I checked in Daffodil SBT Plugin:
[OK] release page has correct information, links, and documentation
[OK] signature of git tag verifies
[OK] hashes and signatures of source and helper binaries are correct
[OK] source and helper binaries are 100% reproducible
[OK] source release matches git tag
[OK] source compiles and all tests pass
[OK] source and helper binaries include correct LICENSE/NOTICE
[OK] RAT check passes, no unexpected binaries in source
[OK] regression suite of public and private DFDL projects pass tests
[OK] packageDaffodilBin output works with all repsective daffodil CLI versions
[OK] no open CVE's found using sbt dependencyCheck
- Found a number of CVEs, but they are all SBT provided dependencies. So
whether or not those libraries are actually used depends on the SBT
version and not anything we control
