contact for IT department security review #588

Open wmnolte opened 2 years ago

wmnolte commented 2 years ago

Our IT department requires a security review before software installation. Is there a specific contact for XCMS that I can use for the security review (name and email address)? Thanks for your help with this.

Best, Whitney Nolte

hm, note that along with xcms you'll need also to install R and a large number of Bioconductor packages - not sure if your IT department wants to check all of them...

For xcms, I guess since I checked the code and re-wrote big part of it, you can use my contact (Johannes Rainer johannes.rainer@eurac.edu).

Hi, please also note that the GPL license has an explicit section on the absence of any warranty https://github.com/sneumann/xcms/blob/c96763830102998a590ecb8e468a832191dd8049/LICENSE#L268 Having said that, if the review discovers security issues and possibly even suggestions for fixing, that'd be more than welcome. Yours, Steffen

Thanks for your responses. I'll contact Johannes for the security check. Thanks for letting me know about the lack of warranty.

Best, Whitney
