Suggestion - Android Latest Patch #383

Open jonniehack opened 1 month ago

jonniehack commented 1 month ago

For Android OS, you have the Android version and the release date for the version, but you don't have the latest patch month.

You mention Wiki in your list of sources and these dates are present on that table but not in your data.
Could you add the latest release data to Android too? Suggest date format.

The bulletins all use the 1st of the month as the date so if you want to use date format you could just grab those

The overview page is also okay: https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/asb-overview

Thanks for the extra source page. It was really useful for now as I am able to webscrape the data, but I'd much prefer this information to be on the JSON reply from the API.

Is there any way I can help?

If you can create a separate repo that tracks all of the android patch levels as releases or tags on the repo, that will be best. I saw a few other projects as well that track this info: https://github.com/AgentFabulous/aosp-bulletin-scrape, https://github.com/dukebarman/android-bulletins-harvester. But they don't seem to publish the "releases".

That way, it can be helpful to other projects as well.
