Yum Package Analysis
The Yum coordinate-based matching feature provides the ability to scan and evaluate Yum package dependencies found in a yum-packages.txt file.
What is supported
Files named yum-packages.txt (tab-separated list of Yum packages) will be analyzed.
What do we parse from the file?
The first two segments corresponding to the name and version of the dependency are evaluated. For example:
AntTweakBar.i386 1.14-5.el5
Steps to analyze using the Sonatype IQ CLI
Create yum-packages.txt file
Run the Yum list command and pipe results to a txt file.
yum list installed > yum-packages.txt
Example yum-packages.txt file
AntTweakBar.i386 1.14-5.el5 installed AGReader.i686 1.2-6.el6 installed 389-admin.x86_64 1.1.29-1.el5 installed
Run a scan
Invoke a Sonatype IQ CLI scan of a directory or subdirectories containing a yum-packages.txt file. Instructions on how to do this can be found here: Sonatype IQ CLI.
